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

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

I arrived at the Embassy 45 minutes before my appointment time. Showed my letter to the guard and was waved through to join one of four queues, each queue was for people with different appointment times - I joined the "10am" queue.

Lengthy wait ensued - note to people with forthcoming interviews: be prepared for rain. You have to wait outside for AT LEAST an hour and there is no shelter. Luckily it wasn't raining when I was there.

Eventually went through portakabin security checkpoint.

You are not allowed to take mobile phones or ipods etc into the Embassy, or any liquids. You can leave them at the cabin but I just didn't take mine with me.

Enter the Embassy - up some steps and through the door to a desk. Pleasant lady took my letter, looked at it and gave me a ticket - for KI visas the number should start with 5000 - mine was 5017.

Up some shallow stairs to my left and into large waiting area with chairs, scree... read complete review
