Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 30, 2006 Embassy Review : I arrived a little early for my appointment so I expected to be standing outside the Embassy for quite a while. However, one of the Embassy staff was coming along the line making sure everyone had their necessary documents. When she saw that I had an immigrant visa application she took me into the other line and I was allowed into the building about 5 minutes later. Inside the waiting room was very busy but I took my ticket and took a seat. I was called up for my first interview bang on time and the lady I spoke to was very courteous, and we even shared a few jokes. I then returned to take a seat before being called for the final interview. I had a wait of about half an hour before I was called to the second window. I was asked a couple of very easy questions about my relationship with my fiancée, and where I would be living in the USA. A few minutes later I was asked to raise my right hand and swear I was telling the truth before being advised that I had been accepted for the visa. Altogether my experience was pleasant and trouble free. I had organised all my documents into accessible folders and I believe that having an organised and friendly attitude facilitated an easy and stress free interview process! Good luck! 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.
