Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 27, 2008 Embassy Review : Got a full report from my fiance today after his (successful!) visit. It went essentially like everyone has recounted in the recent reviews, but it took much longer. His appointment was for 8am - he arrived at 7:45 - and he wasn't out of there till noon!! He said there were a lot of non-immigrant visa applicants there (including several bands applying for visas to tour), so perhaps that slowed things up since part of the delay was having to queue for an hour after he was approved to submit the courier service paperwork. The actual interview took about 2 min. They only asked how we met and why we chose the US over the UK. They wanted to see the actual affadavit of support but none of the paperwork I'd sent to back it up. IN SUM: good experience, but a lot of down time waiting. His advice: take lots of reading material. He resorted to re-reading the paper he had brought at one point! 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.
