Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 3, 2007 Embassy Review : My interview was at 9am and arrived before 830.I waited outside a good half an hour before I went through security and was able to access building. I was given a number and waited about an hour before I was seen by the first Inmigration officer.She was pleasant and efficient.Checked all my original documents and provided her with copies of requested documents.Also took my finger prints. She also requested the notarized extension of our petition as it expired last month.I paid fees and was directed to the waiting area where I only waited another 15mins and I was then interview by a nice American lady who asked me to sign a document and then asked where we met and how my Fiancee proposed me and then told me that we were approved. I was out with a big smile at 1045 We are now waiting for the delivery and I will be on my way ... 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
