Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : January 3, 2017
Embassy Review : My interview was back in August 2016, however I forgot to write this review. I still wanted to share my experience as hearing other people's stories really helped me feel assured and know what to expect.

Looking back, I was so nervous about the interview even though I had no reason to be! I guess it's because it's such a big moment you build up to and by that point all you want to be is with your partner.

My appt was at 12, but I arrived around 10.30. Luckily I lived in NW London so the commute was pretty painless. They didn't let me in until 11, but once I was in it was kind of like going through an airport. Your bags go on a conveyor belt and then you are then 'checked in' at reception. I was given a number and told that I would be called up to a window twice. The first time I was to hand over all the documentation I was told to bring and the second time I would talk to someone and be approved or denied.

The man who I spoke to at the first window was polite, patient and made me feel at ease. I gave him my paperwork and he gave me back my xray scans and some other stuff. Afterwards, I sat back down and it was about an hour until I was called again.

This time, I spoke to a woman who was really friendly and asked me some routine questions about how my fiancee and I met, where we were going to live and what we did for work. It felt really natural and after a minute or so of talking she told me I was approved! I've never felt so much relief and happiness. Straight after, I called my fiancee and told her the news we'd be waiting for for so long.

A couple of weeks later and I was on a plane to my loved one and a month after that we were happily married!

Now for that EAD and Green Card to finally get here...

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
