Review Topic: K1 Visa

I feel as though the whole interview process was a lot less scary than I had told myself. The Embassy, itself, is easy to get to if you're travelling by public transport, and the entry process isn't too daunting either.
You do, however, have to wait outside whilst someone checks over your appointment letter and ID, which isn't the best when it's raining.

I'll just add that prior to your interview, you receive an email from the embassy with details on what to expect, the location, required documents and the security measurements. I would also like to emphasise that it's VITAL you bring every single piece of paperwork/evidence you can think of because it's not always listed on goverment websites/checklists.

One thing I did notice about my experience was the very friendly staff. The procedure is like an airport but the people are chatty and welcoming.

From the journey to the actual interview, for me, everything went smoothly. However... ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was scheduled for 10am on November 5th. I took the train to B
Vauxhall and walked to the embassy (about 15min walk.) I arrived at the entrance at 9.42 and went through security. They asked for my embassy letter and passport. In the building I was stopped by the receptionist, she asked for the same documents and gave me my ticket number. I took the elevator to the first floor and took a left. Immediately upon arriving to the visa window my ticket number showed. The man asked for documents - passport photo, birth cert, acro, affidavit of support, and tax returns. Then I sat down for roughly 10 minutes and was called to have the interview. I met a very friendly american man who took my finger prints and asked me 6 or 7 questions. All very easy to answer if you have a bonafide relationship. I was approved on the spot and that my passport should be returned within a week. It arrived on day 10.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Interview was scheduled for 11am but arrived very early at 10.20am but they said it was fine and went through security and got my ticket number.
Eventually got called to the first window to hand over my documents around 11am they asked for the following documents:
* Birth certificate
* Marriage certificate
* Police records
* Wife's divorce certificate
* Passport
* 1 Passport photo

Around 11.25am was called up for a second time and was only asked 1 question:
*How did you and your wife meet?

Answered and the lady approved it there and then.

The process was unbelievably straight forward. I arrived at the Embassy and after firstly joining the wrong queue (my bad), I went straight in. Did the airport security stuff etc then went to the main building. 

My ticket was called as soon as i arrived to the windows. I spoke to the first officer and they checked my documents. The only documents he needed were Passport, Photographs, IV Letter, Birth Certificate and Police Record. My dad had already uploaded a new AOS and Tax Return to the CEAC website, i brought copies of everything else with me but they didnt ask for them. Then i sat back down and waited for about another 10 minutes for the second part of the interview. The lady I spoke to at the 2nd window asked me to swear an oath to tell the truth etc then asked me a few questions about myself and the petitioner. And that was it, all done! The lady told me that my passport would be back with me in a few weeks via courier and then im good to go!

Super easy process.
Straightforward if you have everything they ask for on the list.
Showed varying papers to 4 people. Once to get in, once to get given a time for interview, once for them all to be checked over and finally by the interviewer.
3 questions: what does my spouse do? where did we meet? who is my sponsor?
Was not a problem that they were still waiting on my medical results.

So happy to be all approved after 18 months of waiting :D
