Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiancé had to travel to Paris from Lyon for his interview. He brought a copy of all the requested documents along with a copy of the entire 129-F application along with copies of photos and everything (we didn't want to take ANY chances!)
He arrived at the embassy early and I believe he was the first one to go in. Once inside he was given a ticket with a number and told to wait until his number was called.
Everything moved along well. He was called to 3 windows in total. He could see that they had our entire K-1 Visa application along with all our photos. He got the feeling that they were impressed with how organized our paperwork was. We had been super-thorough with completing the forms and with all the requested documentation. He felt that because of that the process moved ahead pretty smoothly.
When he got to the final window, for the actual interview, he said he couldn't believe they only had a few very easy questions for him. What a relief after all the practicing we'd done! We'd anticipated some difficult questions regarding the fact that I'd been married before, or maybe something about our age difference, which we had heard could present a "red flag" for them, but nothing was mentioned of any of those things.
So the interviewer told him right there on the spot that he'd be receiving the Visa in the mail shortly - wow! It was a very emotional moment after so many months of preparing, worrying, trying not to worry, reassuring one another that all would be fine, etc. All in all it took less than 2 hours. Wooooohoooooooo - we GOT it!!!!!
