I had my K-1 Visa interview appointment at 9:30 am, but I made sure to arrive at the US Embassy 40 minutes early. On arriving, I was met with a sizable queue and, unfortunately, I initially stood in the wrong line. A heads up to others: you need to approach the desk by the doors first. There's a bit of confusion because, although the K-1 visa is technically a non-immigrant visa, they process it as an immigrant visa. There were clear indications that some signage improvements could be helpful, as another lady there for the K-1 Visa also seemed perplexed by the same issue.
After clearing the initial desk, I went through a security check, which felt akin to an airport security but with a more relaxed vibe. The officers at security hinted I should bypass the general "visa" line and proceed directly to the front desk. A minor hiccup again - you actually need to use the 'US Citizens' line for this.
The front desk team were efficient; they took my DS-160, passpor... read complete review

Hi there posting a review of my experience and the ones on here helped me a tonne with nerves and knowing what to expect and i want to pass that helpfulness onto the next hopefuls.
Had my interview today at the UK embassy, scheduled interview 10AM, arrived at Vauxhall station at 9am and walked along the riverside for about 5 mins to get to the embassy. you cant miss it, its the cheese grater looking building (seriously who signed off that design) and then walked around to the south pavilion entrance. (i made the walk the day before so i knew exactly where i was going)
When i arrived i sat down for 10 mins and gathered my nerve and papers and headed to the line on the right, the lady at the podium told me to wait another 15 minutes before trying to enter, but wrote something on my Confirmation letter and told me to go straight to the security guard on the door as I had priority.
Went into the airport style security, the usual stuff you exp... read complete review

The interview was a bit of an anticlimax after going through the whole petition and application process...
I was able to reschedule my interview as I was traveling on my original interview date (see posts about that experience)
At the embassy, I got through security quickly and you can skip the line at the reception even though it wasn't that long when I was there. I was called to the desk rather quickly to hand over all my documents. When I got called again some 10min later, I thought it was just to return the originals of my documents. But then he asked me to swear the truth and the interview had started! I think he only asked two questions, how did I meet my wife and when we were planning on moving. It only took a few minutes, and then he congratulated me and told me they'd approve the visa! He gave me back my original documents and that was it.
My interview was on a Friday, and on Thursday I was able to pick up my passport with visa in it at the courier center ... read complete review
