Arrived at 9.18 pm. There was a long immigration queue but it was moving quickly. Told 3 usherers that I have a K-1 visa at their respective points and they told me to go to the regular foreign passport line instead of the famous tripod area from the start.
*** At the first CBP counter ***
Me: Good evening, sir. I have a K-1 visa. [handed over my passport, sealed visa packet and x-ray CD]
Officer 1: K-1 visa? Oh boy! I don't need your x-ray CD. You can take it back.
Me: OK, thank you.
Officer 1: Are you on Visajourney.com?
Me: Yes, I am.
Officer 1: Good. Just refer to that site. The website has all the information that you need. You don't need to hire an attorney because it's unnecessary. You can handle the paperwork yourself.
Me: Yes, the paperwork is straightforward.
Officer 1: When is the wedding?
Me: December 12, 2017.
[fingerprinted and photographed]
[Officer 1 called Officer 2 asking if he wanted to take a K-1 entrant and Officer 2 told Officer 1 to send me over]
[my passport and sealed visa packet placed in a clear folder]
[Officer 1 got out of his cubicle, handed me the clear folder and redirected me to the tripod area, which was located at the far left end of the hall]
*** At the second CBP counter ***
Me: Good evening, sir.
Officer 2: Good evening. What is your father's first name?
Me: [mentioned father's English name by mistake and the name is totally off all his official documents]
Officer 2: .....
Me: Oops sorry! His actual first name is [Chinese name].
Officer 2: Where did [English name] come from?
Me: [English name] was due to his conversion into Christianity but the name is not on any official documents.
Officer 2: That's dangerous. So what are you doing in the US?
Me: I am here to marry my US citizen fiance.
Officer 2: Are you sure you want to get married?
Me: Yes, I am sure.
Officer 2: A lot of people come here and they are not sure if they want to get married.
Me: [stayed silent]
Officer 2: When is the wedding?
Me: December 12, 2017.
Officer 2: Do you have any kids?
Me: No kids.
Officer 2: Your last name is just [last name]?
Me: Yes. The other words are all my first name.
Officer 2: You will have to get married within 90 days. Do you know what will happen if you do not get married within 90 days?
Me: I will have to go back to Malaysia.
Officer 2: Yes, that is right. Your I-94 is valid till [date]. Do you know what you need to do after you get married?
Me: I will need to adjust my status.
Officer 2: Yes. that is correct. Before you get your green card, if you want to travel outside of the US, you will need an advance parole so that you would be allowed back in after that. If you travel to overseas without an advance parole, you can no longer come back into the US. After you get your green card, you will no longer need to travel with an advance parole. Are you clear?
Me: Yes, I am clear.
Officer 2: Do you have any questions for me?
Me: Yes, I have one question. We are planning to visit my fiance's family in [state name] during Christmas. Will I get into trouble if I don't have an advance parole at that time?
Officer 2: No, you do not need an advance parole to travel anywhere within the US. You only need it for international travels.
Me: OK, thank you.
Officer 2: Good luck. [handed passport back at me] |

Consulate Review: Malaysia Review Topic: K1 Visa

Embassy Review : |
10 am interview but I arrived at 9 ish. No queue nor crowd. A guard told me I can go through security immediately to enter the embassy compound.
Registration counter: Provided my ID card and visa interview confirmation page. Lady checked my appointment against her list, stamped my visa interview confirmation page with a B, returned the page to me and issued me a visitor tag. My ID card was held at the counter.
First security checkpoint: Handed in my mobile phones, power bank, USB cable and earphones and was given a pigeonhole number tag. Bags were scanned (like airport security checks) and I walked through a detector. Collected everything and walked to the actual embassy building.
Second security checkpoint: Guard manually checked my bags casually and I walked through yet another detector. After I was cleared, I was instructed to go to the interview hall, which was on the left.
Interview hall: Queue number ticket guy checked my visa interview appointment confirmation page. Gave me a queue number ticket that began with a B followed by three numbers. He told me to hold onto it and get my documents out from my folders. Just as I was opening my folder, my queue number was called. I had to go to the document submission window.
Document submission window: Lady asked for my visa interview confirmation page and returned it to me after taking a look. Gave me a slip which was supposed to act as a letter of intent for me to sign and date as well as a copy of the domestic violence pamphlet. Then she started to ask for the following:
1) DS-160 confirmation page
2) Passport
3) 1 passport photo
4) Queue number ticket (she tore one portion from the two-part ticket to be affixed to my passport)
5) Original Certificate of Good Conduct or other police certificates
6) Original birth certificate + birth certificate copy + birth certificate translation
7) Medical envelope - she returned me the x-ray CD
8) Transaction Confirmation page (document delivery address registration confirmation page)
9) Visa fee payment receipt
10) I-134 + tax transcripts
11) Evidence of relationship - video call screenshots, call logs, one Christmas card (I received from my fiancé) - asked if she wanted more and she said no
Waiting hall: After submitting all documents, I was told to go to the waiting hall. This hall is across the interview hall. It is situated on the right side of the second security checkpoint. Put my stuff back into their relevant pockets. Sat for less than 10 minutes and my number was called again and was assigned Counter 7.
Interview counter: My interview session was at Counter 7 and the consular officer was Gordon Wood. He was pleasant but nothing overly friendly. He remained courteous and professional throughout. I took my oath and continued with biometrics. Once I finished my fingerprinting, he started to ask me questions:
1) How did we meet?
2) When's the first in-person meeting?
3) Was that visit to the US specifically to visit him?
4) Where did the first in-person meeting took place?
5) Where does he live?
6) What's his job?
7) Has he ever been married?
8) Have I ever been married?
9) Has he been to Malaysia?
Upon hearing my answer to his final question, he got busy looking for some papers on the shelves. I almost burst into tears thinking he was gonna deny my visa application or tell me to submit more documents. He couldn't find what he needed so he went to the next counter only to come back with the domestic violence pamphlet. He asked if I had gotten that and understood the content to which I answered yes. Finally, he didn't say my visa was approved. Instead, he said everything looked good and I should wait to get my visa in the next few days.
Waiting hall: Ushered by the queue number ticket guy to the other hall. I was told that I could take as much time as I want there to re-organize my stuff or whatever. Quickly packed up my things, checked I have my original birth certificate back and changed into a pair of flip flops because my shoe straps broke. Embarrassing as f-ck considering I was in an embassy! It's damn funny too.
Exit: Left the embassy compound via the tall manual turnstile.
Collection counter: Returned the visitor tag and pigeonhole number tag. Retrieved my ID card and my electronics.
Overall comment: I'm happy with my experience at the embassy this round after two extremely horrible ones previously for my B2 visa applications (1 denied in 2007/08 and 1 approved in 2015). All the guards on duty were polite, document submission window lady was a good sport and the queue number ticket guy was helpful. Consular Officer Gordon Wood had proven to me that consular officers at the US Embassy in Malaysia could be pleasant and professional at the same time without the need for intimidation and spewing baseless allegations. He probably won't be reading this but still, thank you!

Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
