Interview is crucial when it comes to seek visa for the USA, or other countries.
Candidates should know everything prior to scheduling for a visa interview.
Here is a roundup of all details that you need to know before going on an interview of K visa, which belongs to the USA. But still, it’s better to contact with an experienced consultant as Services2NRI is, for getting the details over the same.

Don’t take along these to embassy
The rules are strict to be followed when you are likely to visit embassy. Cell phones are not permitted to be taken along with. In addition, you cannot bring any electronic device to the place. If you do so, your entry would be denied.
Interview lasts for hours
You should have clarity in your mind that the interview may take several hours. Even, you may have to come the next day if the Embassy has something more to know in regard of your application.
Visa delivery
Your visa will be delivered directly to where you have mentioned in the address. It won’t ask you to pay additional cost for it.
But, if you want to get it by yourself, you can collect.
