Hooray we were approved our visa today at the interview. Thank god. Ithe visa will be sent In about 10 days I was told. Got up really early around 5.00 to get ready. It was rainy today and silly me left my umbrella behind. Luckily when I got to the que there was a girl in front of me that was going for a visitors visa who was kind enough to share her umbrella with me.
The embassy was packed full of people all going for diffent visas. It's funny the k1 visa didn't move as quick as the other visas. AnY way after 40 mins of waiting I finally got called up to counter number 1. The lady was a nice Asian lady. She asked me for my interview letter and my number. Then asked me for my police cert and my 2 passport pics. Then my birth certificate. I gave her all of the stuff she asked. She then said where is your daughter. I had to explain again that she didn't come cos she won't be joining me till summer. So ... read complete review

Arrived outside the embassy around 6.40am and there was already a few people sitting on the benches outside the embassy.around 7am people started edging their way to the visa entrance .at 7.30am the grumpy English women everyone talks about arrived outside shouting to get everyone in line and telling people who are not going in the embassy to get out the line .I was the third in line and the first k1 visa in line .got into the embassy at 7.38am .I didn't have a watch on me but it must be around 8am I was called to the first window.I was pleased to see the smiley African American lady I've read so many good things about.she took all my documents whilst making small talk and when she came to take my financial support papers she realized my fiance was in the air force.she then told me she was in the air force for 22years and retired at mildenhall which was my finances last base before returning to the states.we then spent a few minutes talking about mildenhall,the air force and my financ... read complete review

The reviews other have posted helped my husband and I as we prepared for each step of our journey so we wanted to return the favor:
* First, they *will not* allow you to enter the consulate without a valid passport. My husband lost his passport immediately before his 1st scheduled interview. He checked in at the consulate and they were extremely helpful in directing him to the UK passport office and such, but he was not able to attend that interview. (We were fortunately able to reschedule the new interview for 3 weeks from the first).
* The rescheduled appointment was for 9:30. My husband left his backpack and other bag along with a bag of his electronics at Goulds. No problems there. If you are leaving something larger (like a bag) then they tie the bag around the handle of your bag.
There was not a long line to enter the consulate and security was smooth and easy. You must have your interview letter with you and they will check y... read complete review

Pretty much exactly as I expected after reading all the other reviews.
There were some problems with the IT. The number display was just a locked Windows 7 display for ages before they realised and fixed it, during which time they were using a speaker system that seemed to be broken, you could only make out the first half of each word, it was impossible for a little while.
Other than that it all went swimmingly

So my appointment was scheduled for 9.30am and they tell you to not get there any earlier than half an hour (they really don't care about this) but I got there at around 8.15 and joined the first queue to sign in. There were around 20 people in this queue so it took about twenty minutes. You then join the second queue before you go into the security area 4 people at a time. Overall it probably took me about 40 minutes to get in. I know this is mentioned over and over again in reviews but really don't take electronics in with you! The poor girl at the check-in had to mention this about 4 million times! At one point she told everyone with electronics to step to the left (No joke at which point around 30 stepped left) and she physically walked them to the pharmacy.
So after being mildly baffled at how many people can't read instructions I entered the embassy and collected my number from the lady at the front desk.
Just a quick background on me. A few years ago I was ... read complete review
