Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Our interview was in May and the process was very simple and surprisingly quick. We arrived at the embassy at 9 am and checked in for the interview. We waited about 2 hours before being seen.
We approached the window together and I promptly asked about the visa payment and the woman was very helpful and gave me all of the information and I left to pay the visas which in Euro are 245 FOR K visas. I also went to the doctors office to collect the x-ray for my fiancee.
Upon returning to the embassy, my fiancee was in the waiting area. I provided the payment receipts for the visas and they promptly handed me the packet of papers for entry here in the states and explained to me that my fiancee would need these for first entry into the USA. Shen then said we would need to wait and speak with the vice consular for the interview.
The vice consular was recently transferred to the Madrid post and he spoke almost to nothing in Spanish. He used a card to read the statement for my fiancee to swear her submission were true and accurate. He then proceeded to ask me the questions and I would translate to my fiancee and then answer back to him.
He asked her three things.
1) how did the two of you meet
2) do you know his son personally
3) is your daughter from your current relationship with your fiance
He then proceeded to ask me about 10 questions and some information from my previous divorce. He then stamped the packet approved and said the visas would be processed and placed in the passports. We explained the passports would be sent to the embassy as they are not Spanish citizens and needed them to travel via airplane back to their home in Spain.
That was no issue either. They are very nice and helpful at the embassy and made the whole process very pleasant for myself and my fiancee.
