Officer was stern and abrupt at first, then lightened up towards end. Didn't give me I-29 which I needed, so had to later print off myself. |

| Embassy Review : |
My experience for K-1 interview at the U.S Embassy in London:
I was really nervous but didn't need to be so hopefully this helps anyone who is nervous like me!
I got to the embassy early and waited outside as they don't let you in until 15 minutes before your interview time. I then went to the line and was asked for my ds-160 and passport. Then I was directed through airport style security. I had a bottle of water on me which they made me drink (assuming this was to check that it was just water).
Then you walk up to the main reception area where there was a line. As I got into the building my name was called out and I went to the front of the line and was told to go upstairs to the first floor and take two lefts. I think the k1 visa gets priority over other people who were waiting in line. Once upstairs I sat down and waited for my number to be called on the screen. There were a few people there with me and I got chatting to some other people there, one girl who had just had her interview was really sweet and told me I had nothing to worry about which was nice.
The screen told me to go to a first window which a lady asked for my documents. She then gave me a paper which contained my rights as a U.S immigrant and then told me to sit down and wait to be called again. After about 10 minutes I was then called to a different window with a different lady. She asked basic questions like how I met my fiancé and what our plans were when I arrived. She asked me how old I was (23) and joked that I was just old enough to drink in America. She was to the point but friendly which made my nerves calm down. I think she only asked me about four or five questions in total and then said that I was approved and my passport would be at the courier within 5 working days.
Overall, I was only at the embassy an hour and the actual interview was only 10/15 minutes.
There is nothing to worry about!
Good luck with all your visa journeys  |

Timeline Comments: 3Hi! Thank you for writing this out- I just sent to my fiance (from UK). We have the interview on Tuesday. What did you say for what are your plans when you get to USA? Get married then apply for green card? This walkthrough makes me feel a lot better, thank you! Did you bring any proof of relationship?
Sorry to only just get back to you. Hopefully your visa was approved :)
In reply to your question yes that is pretty much what I said. How was your experience?
*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.
