Visa Interview - London Embassy - 23th July - Review

[Gama 475]

Hi All,

 

So i had my interview at the London Embassy Today.... i got Approved! 

 

Just wanted to say for those that are worried about the London interview dont sweat, everyone there is super relaxed and chilled so long as you have the required documentation you will be fine. Mine was a complex case because my Fiancee does not work so i had to use a Co-Sponsor but London was absolutely fine with it.

 

- Arrived @ 8.45 for 9.30 appointment. When you arrive you do not need your appointment letter at any point. Simply just a copy of your DS-160 and Passport go to the Red Tent.

 

- After the Red tent you go through security / airport style Security then head straight into the main area where the will be two queues the left hand side *Blue is for American citizens* the *Red side is for everyone else* the lady will check your paperwork and allow you to skip the queue if your a K1 or CR1 etc.

 

Next up go through the main big glass doors wait in line then give the ladies on reception your DS-160 thats all they will instruct you to go to the 1st floor then take a left then a left. 

 

- Turn right head towards Elevator, Press floor 1, Turn left when coming out of the lift. then head  straight then turn left down the corridor and you will see a small section this is the K1 / CR1 section ** hint after getting your DS-160 back from the reception there will be a window number sticker / Number attached. Pay close attention because it does not say it out loud and you have to keep an eye on it. 

 

Next up 1st stage out of the 2 stages.

 

- Was asked for DS-160

- Birth Certificate 

- Divorce certificate (Didn't apply to me) 

- Police Certificate

- Passport

- USA passport picture

- Affidavit of support. If you are using a Co-Sponsor like i was then submit your fiancee's one then your Co-sponsors one. They will then ask for 1 type of Proof of income i.e a W2.

- Scan left 4 fingers followed by right hand 4 fingers, then two thumbs. 

-Was given Chest X-ray in an envelope back.

 

Take a seat and wait for the 2nd Stage.

 

The Second part is where they do the proper interview.

 

They ask you questions to try and determine if your relationship is genuine, dont attempt to answer any questions your not sure of just simply say i am not sure and they will give you the chance or be understanding. 

 

First up you have to raise your right hand a swear an oath that everything you say is the truth.

After that its followed by Scanning left 4 fingers followed by right hand 4 fingers, then two thumbs. 

 

Then onto Question time

 

- Tell me how you met your partner

- When did you start talking to your partner

- What does your partner do 

- Has your partner ever visited you in the UK

- When was the last time you saw each other

- How will you support yourself when in the US

- When do you plan on entering the US

- Do you have any plans for your wedding, will any family be present at your wedding?

 

Relax dont think of it as an interview think of it as a chance to tell the person behind the window a little bit about yourself and how excited you are about the thought of seeing your partner they want you to succeed.

 

They already have all of your information so before your interview please re-read what you submitted in your I-29F application. Pay close attention / refresh your memory on any important  dates / months you saw each other as they will ask. They dont want to know the exact dates just the month is fine.

 

Breath you got this good luck to everyone! 

 

God Bless
