Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I had my K1 appointment at the London embassy on May 1st. Although there was a lot of waiting around-- about four hours in total-- the people conducting the interviews could not have been more helpful.
First they check your documents are in order, and ask you to pay for your visa. The lady I spoke to actually said 'this is an easy case', which was great to hear as I had been worried because my finace's records show him to be below the poverty line (we have a co-sponsor, and I ONLY gave in his I-134, not my fiance's, although i had it just in case). She also said "we hardly ever have problems with K1 visas", which really helped to put me at ease.
You then pay for your visa (the credit card machine was down so I had to leave the building to get cash), and wait for the second stage...
After about an hour and a half I was called to another cubicle and was asked when and where my finacee and I met, and why I was choosing the move to the United States rather than the other way around. Then I raised my right hand an took an oath of truth. It was over in about two minutes!
All in all, it went really well. The long wait doesn't really matter when you've been waiting six months for this moment! If you've got an interview coming up soon, it's good to know that the people working there are really friendly and helpful. It was a nice surprise (especially after dealing with officials when travelling into the U.S)
Good luck everyone!
