K-1 Interview and Cheat Sheet

Preparing for your K1 Visa interview can be a nerve-wracking experience. However, with proper preparation, you can approach it with confidence and assurance, ready to tackle any challenges posed by the consulate officer to assess the authenticity of your relationship with your fiancée. Here are some essential tips to help you get started:

1. Radiate Confidence: It’s natural to feel anxious about an interview in a government building. Still, appearing nervous might unintentionally raise concerns with the consular officer. They may scrutinize your responses more closely if they suspect you’re hiding something. If your relationship is genuine, have confidence that it will shine through, and maintain composure during the interview.

2. Allocate Ample Time: While it might seem obvious, K1 Visa interviews can sometimes take longer than expected. Arriving on time is crucial, but be prepared for potential delays if the interview officer isn’t available immediately. Allocate enough time in your schedule for the entire day, ensuring you won’t feel rushed or stressed.

3. Memorize Key Dates and Events: Expect questions about your fiancée and significant events in your relationship. Be ready to provide details such as the day you met, your fiancée’s birthday, and dates of important trips you took together. Memorize these dates and recount them with precision during the interview.

4. Prepare Documentation: While specific requirements may vary, K1 Visa applicants typically need to bring certain documents, including:

• Proof of your fiancée’s US Citizenship
• Copy of your sponsored fiancée’s passport
• Valid, unexpired passport of your sponsored fiancée
• Evidence of properly terminated past marriages, if applicable
• Sealed medical examination results from an approved physician in your fiancée’s country of residence
• Birth certificate of your sponsored fiancée
• Most recent tax returns of the US citizen fiancée
• Proof of meetings between you and your fiancée within two years of applying
• Evidence like sworn statements and photographs attesting to the genuineness of your relationship
• Copy of I-94 for the sponsored fiancée
• Two passport-style photos for the sponsored fiancée
• One passport-style photo for the US citizen fiancée
• Police clearance certificates from countries where the sponsored fiancée resided for longer than 6 months
