Links on the K1 Guide for LONDON - help

Complete the online Notification of Applicant's Readiness Form when you have in hand all documents you will be taking to the interview. That includes your fiancé’s Affidavit of Support Form I-134 with proof of income. Review the list of documents on the embassy website.
Tips for the form:
Planned Date of Marriage? Pick something sooner rather than later if you want a soonish interview. It may move you up in the queue over picking a date 7 months away. You don’t have to show proof.

 

These links dont work - is there an updated link someone can point me to?

 

Thanks

The "Applicant's Readiness Form" hasn't been used for quite some time. Follow the instructions on the embassy website here which describes the full process as well as the documents you need to bring:

if you are reading the pinned thread at the top of this forum, it was true six years ago. Just about everything has changed including the links. DO NOT READ IT.

 

i requested it be unpinned, but that was apparently declined. Maybe if you also report it and say it is totally out of date and confusing then it will get some attention.

The UK topic is still helpful for information, especially about vaccinations, and what you bring to the interview, but a lot of things in it are quite out of date. Someone should make a new one.

Good job I read that - I didn't know I needed my kids' birth certificates (they are not coming with me)

Best of luck! It seems daunting, but there really isn't anything to worry about. They just ask for your documents and will ask a few questions about how you met, what you both do for work, etc. The embassy is architecturally pretty spectacular in my opinion, so I really enjoyed seeing it.

 

One mistake I made was to wait in the non-immigrant line in the elevator lobby for about 25 minutes (for B1/B2 visas) when you actually are processed in the 'immigrant visa' section of the embassy, so make sure to ask!

 

Let us know if you have any questions

The website has said that for a very long time...2007? I didn’t take my kids birth certificate and I can’t think of anybody who got held up for non-immigrating kids birth certificates. 
That link to the K1 instructions is what they send in your letter from the embassy. Read all the links, and theFAQs.

That is mentioned a number of times in the London interview reviews... Don’t get in the long line. 
 

 For anybody who hasn’t explored all the parts of this website, you can find London reviews. Start at the menu item “Office Reviews and Info” then find Consulate and USCIS reviews. Then London.

There are actually a couple of lines. There is the one outside the embassy before security, which is the one which most of the reviews refer to, and I skipped that and headed straight in. After security, there is a large room with a reception desk with a queue where they stage everybody with a particular appointment time. I headed for the elevators, but she asked me what time my appointment time was and told me to join the line, saying we'd be sent up when our appointment time was reached. However, it got about 10 minutes past my scheduled appointment time when I asked whether it's going to be much longer. She then said "K1? Why didn't you say so. Go straight up.".

The recent ones Nov -Jan that I read were talking about the reception desk. I remember you telling about your interview but you didn’t post it in the review section.

Can I now arrange an interview?

or have to wait for letter?

 

When should I expect - said letter? 
 

thanks
