Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : October 27, 2013
Embassy Review : My interview was scheduled for 9 o clock, Friday morning. Taking advice from previous reviews, I arrived early (around 7.15 after dropping phone at Goulds). There were around 10 people there, but no sort of queue. I asked and got told to queue up in the middle of the bollards, rather than close to the little visa building as they erect a tent to check people's documents and get into a 2nd line. Ended up being 3rd in line. Got into the waiting area after getting ticket number. Sat for around 15 mins then called to window 13. Met a polite and efficient American guy who took documents and finger prints. (CRC, Birth cert, I-134, Turbo tax form. He didn't ask for any sort of evidence aside fromthose forms. Got sent to sit back down. Around half an hour later I got called up to speak to the rather VJ famous African American lady. She asked how we met and I ended up waffling on about our whole relationship while she took notes. She checked a couple of dates, made a joke or two, then told me my visa was approved. WOOOO!! She then explained the usual things about couriers and envelopes. I was going to tell her she was an internet celebrity but I bottled it.... I'll leave that to someone else.

All in all, it was a very easy experience and I was in and out within about 1 1/2 hours! Advice - get there early and queue up towards the middle, saved me a huge amount of time.
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
