Experience of the K1 visa process (London embassy)
Worries: past history of mental health, extended stays on ESTA (right up to the 90 days), lost old passport, change of address
I’ll try to make this as detailed as possible, sorry if its dull!
I had recently changed address so I was worried my appointment letter wouldn’t come through. A couple of weeks after I was expecting it to come by researching timelines on visajourney I emailed the embassy to say that I think the letter may be lost as I have a postal redress but have changed address, I also mentioned here that my fiancé had also changed address in the USA. They sent me a reply back after about a week saying not to worry and an email invitation, they said that my fiancés address changed is ok as that info gets updated after submitting the DS160 and Affidavit of support (the next step). I followed the instructions on the email by filling out the DS160 and the Affidavit of support. A couple of weeks later ... read complete review

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... read complete review

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.
