Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Scheduled Interview Time: 9.30, June 12th 2013

Arrived at the Embassy at 7.30 on the button, having left my electronics and rucksack with the hotel I stayed in the night before (Wigmore Court Hotel – good value for money by the way) and there were probably about 20 people already queued. After having my letter checked and passport verified I headed through a small hut where airport style security (think luggage scans and a metal detector) is in effect. Apparently watches also need to be scanned, didn’t know that previously.

Directed around to reception, where I was given the number I-902. Only the second Immigrant applicant of the day, which I would suggest allowed for very speedy service. Was sat down in chairs waiting by 7.40, it is clear that they do not begin to see people until 8am – although the small area for snacks is already open and receiving customers.

As the numbers begin to be called, most are N numbers for the first five ... read complete review

My interview was booked for the 10th June 2013 at 9.30am.

I arrived at the embassy at around 7.20am and there were already a few people ahead of me. Ten minutes later a security guard walked around with clear plastic bag so you could put your watch in it. About 15 mins later a lady at a desk called me forward and asked to see my appointment letter and passport. She then directed me towards a security guard who checked my letter and passport again. He then told me to wait outside the cabin door until I was called. Once the door opened I was asked if I had anything in my pockets to which the answer was no. I then had to take my jacket off and put it in a tray with my other belongings. Walked through the scanner and collected my things. I then proceeded to walk around the side of the building, up some stairs to a reception desk where another man asked me for my appointment letter. He printed off a number and stuck it to the letter and told me to head for the waiting room. <... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Its been almost two weeks since my interview now and I got my visa on the mail today. But looking back on my interview day I found it to be very anti climatic. My mind was racing the day before, thinking of the possible questions that might be asked and all that other stuff.

So on the day I left my hotel in the morning for my appointment at 9:00am. I got to the embassy at 8, and line was HUGE!!! alot of people where there early too, some had interviews at 9:30 to 10:00. the line did move fairly quickly however and I was through security and into the embassy at 8:30am.

Bang on 9am I got called to window 1 where a lady greeted me. A very nice lady, we spent most of the time talking about how cold it was outside and the rain, whilst we were talking I gave her my birth and police certificate as well as my two photos. She asked me for the support form and a letter from my fiancee\'s employment letter, nothing else, no tax returns nothing. once everything was i... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Had my London embassy appointment this morning.

The appointment was for 8:30 and I arrived at 7:45 after leaving my phone at Goulds pharmacy (3 pounds).

Once inside you are seen in the order you arrive in your category. There were E, I and N numbers. While I was there about 100 N numbers were processing, 10 I numbers and 6 E numbers.

I took a seat with I907 (7th I number in line). They first started calling numbers at 8am. In about 45 minutes they got to mine, I was called up to window 1 where there was a Asian origin british lady. The hall is loud and I struggled to hear a lot of what the lady behind the counter said. She processed the paperwork and took my interview sheet, passport and passport photos. She got a file from the back which had all my submitted information to NVC which she checked off against a checklist she had. She mentioned she thought I had travelled a lot for my age but quickly moved on. She gave a lot of our "ex... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Overall, a comfortable experience!

My appointment time was at 8pm, but chose to arrive at the London Embassy 30 minutes before. I'm glad I did, because the line was already pretty long! After the initial document check and security screening, I picked up ticket number and sat inside waiting for my number to be called.
It took about 20-25 minutes to be summoned to the first window, where an English lady asked for my passport and passport photos- NOTE: all the documents I had sent to NVC she had in front of her, so didn't need to provide any additional info. :-) She then asked me to wait again to be called up for interview.
Another 40 minutes went by before I was called up to second window, where a very pleasant American Lady asked questions about how my wife and I met, how are marriage developed, our ceremony and plans for the future. She then announced the visa was approved and explained about how my documents would be returned.
I paid the delivery... read complete review
