London Interview

[RobJR 0]

Hi,

Well, I only came across this site yesterday, but it looks like an excellent resource so I had to join up straight away. I just wish I'd found it a few months ago when we began the long road to (hopefully) obtaining a K-1.

But anyway, my American fiancee recently heard that our application was approved, and so we're now at the stage where I'm waiting to receive a package of forms and instructions from the London Embassy in preparation for the eventual dreaded interview.

I say "dreaded" because I'm already wobbling at the knees with the prospect of it, and so I'd be very grateful if anyone who's actually been through it could offer some tips or perhaps answer a few questions.

For example, is the interview conducted in a hard-faced, business-like manner, or is it quite informal and relaxed?... What sort of questions do they ask, and did you get an impression of the kind or information they were digging for?... Does anyone know what percentage of applications fail at the interview stage, and for what reason?... Did you leave with the feeling that it had been a real ordeal, or did it turn out to be easier than expected?

Any information that you could offer would be gratfully received. Thanks!

all you have to do is Order the interview ebook at www.ezvisa.us/book theres a lot of question and tips based on actual question asked by USCIS interviewer.

Any information that you could offer would be gratfully received. Thanks!

Hi RobJR and welcome to VJ.

Don't panic about the interview, easier said than done I know, but seriously when it's over you'll kick yourself for worrying so much. As someone else said recently, it's like going up to a bank counter and speaking to someone through the glass. Obviously they are quite matter of fact about the whole thing but it's not an interrogation. They do have a sense of humour and put you at ease.

As long as you have all your paperwork in order and answer their questions, you will be fine. Definately read the London interview reviews, they give a good insight into what to expect. Saying that, I had visions of being in a room with a tape recorder and an officer across the table from me drilling me on everything, it's not like that at all.

I hope it goes well for you and everyone's reviews and experiences put your mind at ease.

KaiserD - I was the same, actually thought many a time "is it worth going through all this". The answer is YES it is, the medical is nothing more than a medical with your own GP (and as I've said before, it IS normal to assume you have a dread disease!)

Good luck guys

I hear ya I am the same I am more worried about getting to and around london and a little worried about the medical not too worried about the interview though:) But luckily I am hopeing to schedule the medical on the same day as Laura_and_Ian. They live close to me and they are a K3 couple. It would make me feel much safer and less anxious going with someone else - plus I get to spend the whole day with them - they are a lovely couple:) As for the interview Laura said she woul come with me - if she cant then I have another friend who is willing to come with me:) I need the support:)

A big thank you to you all for your replies, I've found them all very helpful, and the Embassy info has been excellent for letting you (that is, me) know exactly what to expect.

I think that's the worst part, not knowing quite what's waiting for you on the other side of the door. You kinda feel like a lamb going to the slaughter, so to hear other people's positive accounts has definitely been very reassuring.
