   **US Embassy single status affidavit experiences?**

   I don’t actually live in Japan yet, but I’m planning to marry my fianceé and apply for a visa. I already have an appointment with the US Embassy that will occur during my next visit to Japan.

   For those who have experienced getting this affidavit, I was curious:

   1. How fast is it? Could I reasonably expect to get it done within a day?

   2. Do they care about your Japan visa status? Would it matter to them if I was currently in Japan as a temporary visitor?

   Thanks!

2. If I remember correctly, I just signed a paper in front of them and then they stamped it? Took it home with me.

3. Yes, easily done in less than a day. When I did it, took all of 30 minutes inside the consulate.

   They don’t care at all about your visa status in Japan. I was a visitor getting married in Japan and zero questions.

4. You are sworn in, so you raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth, the full truth and only the truth.

   You are asked if you understand the document to be notarized.

   You are asked if the content of the document is true and accurate.

   You are asked why you have brought the document (i.e. because you intend to marry).

   You sign the document before the notary public.

   The document is given a notary stamp.

   The end.
