Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our appointment was for 8:00am today. Yesterday I spent the day doing one last documentation check. I followed the London Embassy Website per the instructions on our Interview letter. I printed out a checklist, recommended by the website, just to make sure we had everything we needed.
Stephen got there at 7:30am. There were about 15 people ahead of him, unfortunately they all had cell phones and had to leave the line to go to the chemist and drop them off. That took some time because they argued and debated. The woman in front of him actually got through and once inside the building pulled it out and started making a call while waiting in the security line inside the building. They made a big stink about that. I don't understand some people.
Stephen got his number around 7:50am and was called straight away. The asian woman took his neatly labeled and organized packed and started going through it. She was terribly rude. She told Stephen he didn't need any pict... read complete review

Generally a very pleasant and quick experience.

I had an early morning appointment, arrived early and queued up outside.

I was in and out within the hour. Was asked a few questions, how we met, when we were getting married, what I planned to do after getting married for an occupation.

Then I paid my fee for delivery of visa and left

Review Topic: K1 Visa

So I arrived at London the night before my interview and stayed at the Lincoln House Hotel. After checking in I took a walk down to the Embassy so I knew where to go the following morning.

My appointment was at 9am so I woke up at 7am, had breakfast and got ready. I arrived at the Embassy at 8am, there was no cue so I just presented my passport and interview appointment letter, then headed through to have my belongings checked.
I then walked around the side of the building (which was clearly signposted) and walked up the stairs. The lady at the reception desk attached a ticket number to my interview appointment letter and told me to sit near window 1.

I waited for about 1 hour, 45 mins beofre being called up to the booth. I had the Mongolian lady and, as most people report, she does talk quietly but that was ok. She had a pretty bad cough so I gave her one of my cough sweets and that put a smile on her face
I gave fingerpr... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

So today I had to attend the US embassy in London for my interview in relation to my K1 visa and thought I'd share my experience with others.
Although I'm only 30 miles outside of London, it was still an early start with me leaving the house at 5am to make sure I was there ready for my 8.30 interview.
First stop was Gould Pharmacy on North Audley Street. I should think the actual pharmacy side of the business is a minor part of the business, this place is set up to help folk attending the embassy. A line of desks are set up along the left of the shop as you enter where staff are ready to help, although at 7.30 when I arrived, it was quiet (not so quiet when I returned to pick up my stuff). The staff at will run through a list of prohibited items, and supply a small jiffy style bag to put your stuff in. I managed to get my iPhone, headphones and bunch of keys in there easily. £3.00 well spent in my eyes. Out of Gould's turn right and the embassy is literally a 2 minute wa... read complete review

Arrived at 8:30, staff outside very helpful and no queue for security. Appointment was at 9 but I didn't get seen at the first window until 10:30. Waited another hour and a half and finally I got to the main interview. The interviewer was a fairly young American man, very polite and easy to talk to. Some of the questions were unusual, for example he asked me for my fiancee's Skype name (I told him we used this to chat at first but I changed her name a long time ago on there so I didn't remember it). Once I was approved I paid for the courier service (£36 for the privalege) and I was done. Nothing scary, nothing difficult, just long and boring, bring entertainment!
