Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

Everything went swimmingly! We got in line at 8:30 AM almost on the nose and we were in the building with a number by 8:55 AM. We were called to the first counter by about 9:45 AM - the man was pleasant and it didn't take long at all. There weren't any snags with paying either ($380 USD in total on my British visa debit card). And I'm sorry I can't quite remember how long we waited to get called for the actual visa interview part, but it wasn't long. The woman was nice again as well and she didn't ask my husband any questions at all actually. She asked me if I was the petitioner and if I had a home in the US, and she found my answers acceptable. Then she said everything was complete and they just had to make sure Chris didn't have an FBI profile (she nicely said this in a joking manner) and that he should have his passport with visa back within the week!

There was a bit of a to-do with paying for the courier as it costs 21GBP in adddition to the stand... read complete review

VERY easy and painless. Sarah's interview was scheduled for November 1 at 8:00am. She arrived 45 minutes early and was 2nd in the que. So when they let them in, she didn't have to wait. Fingerprinted etc. at the first window, she had to wait a short time in between, then was called for her interview. Fingerprinted again (just to make sure she was the same person that she was 30 minutes before ). They didn't even go through our stack of evidence that we compiled. They asked where we met, what we did that weekend, how we stayed in contact after that and when she came to America for the next visit, and what her family thought about her moving to Texas. That was about it, approved. One thing they did make her do, she had to check her cell phone, and this is the strange thing - she had an orange juice and granola bar with her, they let her take it in but she had to take a bite and a drink in front of them before they let her in with it! Very smooth, only took ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Actually went very smoothly. I arrived early and there were people waiting for the mdecial. We went in and for some reason I was first on the list. No problems with that. But didn't make a lot of difference in the long run.
I arrived at the embassy, which was crazy busy. The embassy in London has concrete barriers and a LOT of security. Pretty cool experience. Sat in the waiting room and was called pretty quickly. He asked a few questions, shook my hand and said "Welcome to America".

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Turned up to london via the megabus, which wasnt as bad as i thought, although the driver repeatedly wakened everyone up with announcements of which stop we were at, not too bad for the price though. got to London at around 8am, so had loads of time to get across to the embassy. I wandered around aimlessly looking around the area until my legs got sore and i got bored, which was around 10am and my appointment wasnt until 13:30. anyway i decided to go to the actual embassy and see where it is and how to get in etc, so i could turn up nearer the time, but upon getting there and following the signs i thought id just try and get in, id may as well sit in there than in the park. so I got to the first check point, where there were two freindly looking people waiting (no queue at all!) i showed them my paperwork and they gave me a little bag for my phone etc and was then directed to the metal detector guards, where my phone was taken from me and a ticket given to me for retrieval on the way o... read complete review
