Appointment Scheduled: 9:30AM
Entered: 9AM
Handed back Document Folder: 9:15AM
Interview: 11:05AM
I arrived in London by train at around 8:10 AM. I then looked for a Lime bike and cycled to the embassy, which took around 25 minutes and cost £6.99 for a 60-minute bundle. I arrived at the embassy at 8:50 AM. I approached the pop-up desk outside the security checkpoint and let them know I was there for a K-1 visa interview. They checked my passport and DS-160 printout, then told me I could enter in 10 minutes, which was 30 minutes before my appointment.
After going through security and entering the embassy, I went to reception to collect my ticket number, then headed up to the first floor to wait. About 10 minutes after I sat down, at around 9:15 AM, I was called to Window 21 to hand over the sealed document packet from my document review on July 10. I was then given a sheet of paper to read, which provided information about my rights as a soon-to-be spouse of a U.S. citizen. I sat back down and waited for my ticket number to be called for the interview.
I was called to Window 23 at 11:05 AM, where my interview began. First, I had to take an oath, swearing that everything on my petition and everything I was about to say was the truth. The officer then asked me the following questions:
How did we meet?
When did we meet?
When did we first meet in person?
Was it in the U.S.?
Have you ever been arrested?
How many times have I visited?
Where does your fiancée live?
What does your fiancée do for work?
After I answered the officer’s questions, he said, “I intend to approve your visa today. Congratulations. Please allow one to two weeks to receive your passport back in the mail.”
He handed me back my ACRO and birth certificate, and I left the embassy around 11:15 AM.

A 2 hour wait followed by a 5 minute interview - overall a smooth experience.

Arrived at the embassy and skipped the queue (as immigrant visas aren’t meant to line up) by speaking to the queue attendants. Went through the airport style security, then headed to the desk in the main building to get my appointment number. Took the lift to the first floor, turned left twice, then took a seat and waited for my number to be called. First, I was called over to hand my documents in. After that, I waited around two and half hours for a very short, polite interview. I was asked what I do, with a follow up on the type of work, and that was it! My interviewer then sat in silence for about two or three minutes while doing something on their computer, before announcing I’d been approved. Very straightforward, if slow.
