Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
|
| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
July 8, 2009 |
| Embassy Review : |
Appointment was at 9am and my fiance was there a total of 3 hours.
They took his nail clippers away as it was "sharp object." He tossed it. I told him not to worry I would buy him new nail clipper.
They asked him following questions.
How did you meet?
Which website did you meet on?
What are her family ties to Serbia? (to which he answered my father is)
Where does her mother's family come from?
Why aren't you settling in Britian?
Then she said that she would be happy to give him visa as soon as he gets document retranslated. Not sure what the exact issue was with his current translated- other then they need two docs from Croatia and both translated. I guess both translation sounded too similar. Hmmmm.... I don't know.
I was a bit worried as he was treated poorly in 2006 trying to get visitor visa (before he was UK citizen). But he said this time they were friendly and the woman interviewing him was pleasant.
He gives the experience 4 stars due to the uncomfortable seats.
Now just to get the correct translation.

*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.
