Schedule London Interview over the Phone

[gail&scott 0]

I am trying to schedule my fiances interview ASAP with the London embassy as I think we may have made a mistake that is going to delay are wedding plans and people have already booked flights. I sent off the checklist today to request an interview date. I gather that will take about a month until the interview, which will probably be too long. I just found the following on the embassy website:

"Consular Affairs: Visa Services

Operator Assisted Visa Information

Callers from within the United Kingdom should dial 09042-450100. Calls to this line are charged at £1.20/min from BT landlines; some mobile and network providers may charge more. In addition, callers from outside the U.K. and some mobile and network providers cannot access this number.

Callers from within the United States who wish to obtain information on, or schedule an appointment for a nonimmigrant visa interview, should dial 1-866-382-3589. Callers are charged a fixed rate of $16:00 for up to 7 minutes which is payable by credit card - Visa, MasterCard, American Express only. Please ensure that you have your credit card details available when making the call. You will not be charged for the call until payment has been taken. Please note that you will be required to provide the agent with a U.K. address when scheduling the appointment."

Can I call and make an appointment for a K-1 visa....i know $16 for 7 minutes is crazy, but at this point I am willing to try anything.....thanks

I think this is for other type of non-immigrant visas, not for K-1.

No you can't arrange an interview over the phone.

The interview date is assigned to the beneficiary after they have returned the contents of Packet 3, including the checklist.
