| Embassy Review : |
All in all it was a very simple process.
They asked for my passport and DS-160 confirmation page (with my photo and barcode) at security. Then I had to do a quick security check, similar to an airport. Then went through with a big group of people who's interviews were at a similar time to mine. This whole process took about 25 minutes and was mostly just waiting in lines.
After all the sercurity had been done we were directed up to the 1st floor by a lift, then I went to a different desk as most other people were there for short term visas. At the next desk they asked for my passport, my DS-160 page, my proof of support (i-134), and my ACRO police certificate. Once these had been gathered together they gave back everything except the I-134 which they kept, and asked me to take a seat and wait for the number they gave me to be called. I was probably waiting for another 10-15 minutes when my number was called. I went up to another booth with a very nice lady who asked if I had met my fiancee before, where, when and how many times? Then she gave back all of the photos we had sent in for evidence of our relationship, and said that they had to wait for my medical report to be sent into the embassy (as I was unable to book the medical far enough in advance) and once they had that they would email to inform me of the visa approval.
Obviously it can be a little nerve wracking going into something like this when you don't know what it will be like. But all in all everybody there was really nice and extremely helpful, so if you turn up with everything they tell you to bring with you in the confirmation email you should be in and out pretty quickly and with no problems. |

Timeline Comments: 9 M&L78 on 2018-12-27 said: What are RFEs?
We got a case number for our K1 fiancée visa after sending an email inquiry. However when I went to check the status of our petition, I found the status under the “immigrant visa†even though our case is “Nonimmigrant visa†can any help explain this.
Hello, Congratulations!!! I'm in the UK too and the I-129F was filed at the end of December. Did you meet your fiancee online like I did? Because I heard that meeting them online makes an RFE more likely. Thank you and best wishes!
Hey there, no we met while traveling in SE Asia and then did long distance for a year so potentially we had less evidence then others for proof of relationship. But once we sent in the 2nd RFE we got approved in a week!
Best of luck!
How long did it take for your visa to get delivered to your home address?
It took just a little over a week!

*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.
