Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 6, 2006 Embassy Review : I cant believe how painfree it was. We (hubby and me) got there well early at 8:30am-ish and after a little wait we were let into the embassy where I was given the number 006 and told to take a seat and wait. After a wait of about 10 mins I was called to window number 1 and a really nice woman (who I couldnt understand) took the pics and visa payment slips and although she was asking for other stuff I didnt know what she was saying so I just handed stuff over in the order that I thought she wanted. She then gave me the courier slip and told us to sit back down. No sooner had I sat down when I was called back to window 1 as she had forgoten to give me my xray (that had been sent over to the embassy from the Doctors in Knightsbridge). Anyway we sat back down and after 10 mins or so we were called to window 13 where some right nice friendly american bloke was waiting for us. He asked a couple of questions like "Did I enter the US on the VWP" to which I said yes, he asked where in US we would be living I told him NY and he asked my husband what he did for a living my husband replied that he was a farmer and the bloke then asked me what I thought about farming (I replied that there were cows there and that seemed to appease him haha). The interviewer was a real smilie bloke who spoke clear and at no time did I feel like he was putting me under pressure He then looked over Jac's permssion to leave document and then said "well everything looks good here we can go ahead and issue the approval" I was a bit gutted I got no "welcome to America" so I asked him if he could say it to me so he said that I was jumping ahead of him as he still had to tell me about the POE etc but then after that he said them words "WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" SO I walked out with a big s*** eating grin on me face paid the courier fee and hurried home so I could take off me shoes that had been killing me. 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
