Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 22, 2013 Embassy Review : [quote name="Nurseling" post="6599067" timestamp="1382453603"] Hooray we were approved our visa today at the interview. Thank god. Ithe visa will be sent In about 10 days I was told. Got up really early around 5.00 to get ready. It was rainy today and silly me left my umbrella behind. Luckily when I got to the que there was a girl in front of me that was going for a visitors visa who was kind enough to share her umbrella with me. The embassy was packed full of people all going for diffent visas. It's funny the k1 visa didn't move as quick as the other visas. AnY way after 40 mins of waiting I finally got called up to counter number 1. The lady was a nice Asian lady. She asked me for my interview letter and my number. Then asked me for my police cert and my 2 passport pics. Then my birth certificate. I gave her all of the stuff she asked. She then said where is your daughter. I had to explain again that she didn't come cos she won't be joining me till summer. So she said ok but make sure she joined you in the summer cos the K2 visa has a 1 year limit after that they won't allow her to join again. She said can I fill out the forms for her now so she can make a folder for her for when she comes to interview in June. Luckily I carried all the info of her school etc with me so was able to fill out the ds157 and 156. I handed it back to her and she then told m to put my finger on the screen for finger prints. After that was done she took my passport. And asked for my visa receipt of payment and the courier recipt. She took my passport of me then put it in somekind of plasticky see through folder then gave me my x-Ray film from my medical said I can keep that. She told me o go sit down and wait and someone will call me in for the interview. I sat down for another 15 minutes then my number flashed up on the screen I front again. I went to counter 16 and saw a lovely African American lady who proceeded to tell me to swear that everything was the truth. After I swore she asked me a few questions. First was how did we meet When did we meet How did the relationship progress Have I been to see him Have I met his family Where did we meet again She kept trying to confuse me cos even though I told her Georgia she said a few times was that in Florida. She asked when he proposed When do I plan to go Then after that she said I am happy to tell you your visa is approved. It will take about 10 days to be couriered to you. When you get the white plastic envelope inside there will be sealed envelope this is what you need to give them at the port of entry in Georgia . Congratulations and good luck with the future. She even printed out all the information that my daughter needs for when she has her interview I.e evidence she needs to bring. That was my experience happy it is all over and done. On to the next phase which is finding ticket to fly in December it's been a journey I must say. All those still waiting don't worry they really are nice at the embassy and it's just a formality cos they already know they will be giving you a visa. If they didn't they would grill you with more questions. In my interview I never got many she just repeated the same ones twice. Hope all waiting that filed in may have a good experience too. I will let you guys know once the visa arrives by courier. Thanks everyone for the support really appreciate it and am so glad I have been able to meet such nice people here on the visa journey site.: Rating : 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.
