Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom

| Embassy Review : |
My K1 interview went very well. It went way better than expected.
I was excited and nervous at the same time. My appointment was at 10:30 and queued at 10:00 to get in to the South Pavilion of the US Embassy in London then went through the airport style security check. Once I was through security, I went through the building and straight to the reception. I saw quite a lot of people queuing but I was told not to queu and just to straight to the receptionist informing them that I have an appointment for an immigrant visa. The receptionist then gave me a ticket number and told me to go to Level 1. My ticket also suggested where to sit and which window I will be seen by the officer/interviewer. I was probably in within 10 minutes from outside the embassy to my seat waiting for my turn to be interviewed.
I waited for about 10-15 minutes until my ticket number came up. A male officer greeted me and congratulated my engagement. He then requested me the required documents (ACRO/police record, original birth certificate, I-134 form, my fiance's tax recent tax return, 1 photo and DS-160 confirmation). He asked when I am planning to move to America and then asked me to sit and that they will call be back again.
I waited for about another 5 minutes then a nice lady asked me the following questions:
1. Have you had any trouble with immigration or the police?
2. Where does your fiance live?
3. When did you first meet? I said back in 2006 and she asked me a follow up question asking how we got in touch again. I said we have been in a relationship throughout 11 years.
She then said, '' We will issue your visa and you should receive it within 2 weeks''.
I was surprised that it was that quick. I then thanked her.
By 10:35, I'm out of the embassy. I really enjoyed my experience and wished I did not overthink or stressed too much about the whole K1 visa process.
I hope anyone reading this will find my review helpful. Also, please do not stress yourself too much!
All the best!  |

*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.
