Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I arrived 40 mins before my interview. I got off the tube at Bond Street station which is about a 3 minute walk from the embassy. I didnt know that you could leave your phone and stuff at goulds pharmacy just up the street for £5, or would have done so. It took 1/2 hour to get in. It took 2 hours to see the first guy who was all business and handed over my docs to him. He asked me to pay the visa fee and come back with the receipt.
I shuffled 3 feet to the left to the cashier window to find that Janice was on her teabreak. Whilst waiting for Janice I read her (extremely well adorned) wall and learned that Janice has been cashier of the month since time began and that she knows how to smile in a picture. What a cashier does to be cashier of the month escapes me. She also had a certificate from the secret service about contribution to the US security. Maybe she doesnt accept cheques from Mr O.B. Laden. Anyway when Janice came back from tea she turned out to be the most grumpy cashier I've ever met. She wasn't cashier of the month today and isn't near as smiley in real life. Maybe she didnt make April.
She said 3 words; "Card" Pin" and "Receipt". She didnt even say goodbye.
I was sent back to wait (for another hour). Contrary to myth there was no coffee or snack counter. I was called and saw a pretty decent lady who made me swear not to tell porkies and asked me how I met my fiancee and when I was getting married. I'll get my visa when I get a new passport and send it to them via DX, as mine was a bit tatty and she wasn't happy. Maybe she and Janice are related. Its over, thats all that matters.
