Painfully slow in processing K-1 which resulted in missed connection to Charlotte! Worse yet, the immigration officer never gave back i-94 after stamping it resulting in unnecessary hassle for the next 13 days! |

Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom

| Embassy Review : |
London is the best! The interview was very easy and the Embassy staff really friendly. Worst part was waiting outside in the queue for 2 hours in the freezing wind.
The interview itself took under 3 mins, the consular officer never bothered to check original employer letter, pat stubs and tax forms. Just the photocopies were enough. When I offered to show our photos together, she replied "No thanks, everything looks fine to me...Welcome to the United States!" 
and that's it!!! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
