Hi Everyone,

Am really impressed with the way you guys have your backs as said,the power of information is great.

My K-1 petition was approved last October 2007, i had the 3rd package which informed ne to get couple of documents ready and went for my Medical screening.

I had all that completed and submitted ny final slip for the interview back in February 2008, i called the US embassy in london to confirm if this slip was received and how long will it take to have the interview done, i was told it takes up to 6-8weeks, i need to confirm from you guys if anyone has experienced this sort of long period before. i have been on the process for 11 months now, does it usually take that long? pls i need to you guys advice. thanks :thumbs:

Ade.

Hey, welcome to VisaJourney! Glad to have you aboard.

There's been cases where the wait was way longer than 6-8 weeks. If you want some idea of what to expect, check out the "Immigration Timelines" link at the top of the page. You can view timelines of people who have gone through the process dealing with the same embassy. That being said, it'd be cool if you could fill out a timeline as well. The data is invaluable to the community.

Again, welcome... and good luck! :thumbs:

Some consulates send out a packet 4... some do not. Some take longer than others. It sounds as though you're right on course but it's hard to help when there is no information in your timeline about what consulate you are dealing with. :time:
