Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : May 19, 2011
Embassy Review : In a nutshell, our experience at the US Embassy in London was utterly painless. My fiancée came prepared and was approved with no hassle whatsoever. The interview itself consisted of a few mundane questions that seemed more like a casual conversation than an interview that would directly impact the rest of our lives. The interviewer asked for zero additional documentation; he just took her fingerprints, had her swear she was telling the truth, and sent her on her way with a promise that he would do everything he could to expedite the return of her passport so she could catch a flight back to the US in a few days.

Our circumstances were about as straightforward as they come, with plenty of documentation of a long-term relationship and absolutely no reason to deny the visa, so your experience may vary.
Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
