| Embassy Review : |
I arrived just after 8:00am and joined the line outside the embassy. When I was inspected by security whilst standing in the line I was sent to the front on the basis my appointment time was 8:30am. Make sure security knows you are a K-1 applicant so you don't arrive late or get wet standing in the rain.
After going through security you enter the main building. (Remember not to take bags or luggage with you.) You show your paperwork in the reception area. It is then a short walk to the elevators. The visa processing department is on the floor above. You take a left and go to the booths where K-1 visas are dealt with. A local employee took my paperwork from me. He asked a few questions, but I think he was just making small talk. He gave me a leaflet about domestic violence. Don't ignore the leaflet. It was a very I interesting read.
After an hour I got a telephone call telling me to go to a window and speak with one of the consular officers for my interview. The interview was very short. He asked about wedding plans, the last time my fiancée and I had met in person and whether I had submitted a police check for all countries I had lived in for more than six months. He then said the visa was approved.
Don't forget to take a picture of The Thames whilst you are waiting for your interview and the embassy garden as you are leaving.

The line was long, but I was holding my yellow sealed packet so one of the security staff took took me to the front.
The CBP official took the packet and opened it. He asked about my marriage plans and said I needed to get married within 90 days or I would get deported. He showed me a picture from the packet of me with a smiling woman. He asked if that was my fiancée. Not sure if that was small talk or a trick question!
It was all over in less than ten minutes. |

*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.
