A long morning, but knew what to expect from advice here, and other sites, plus the US Embassy's YouTube clips helped :-D
No complaints, the system works, especially with so many people going through each day, and the staff I had to talk to were all friendly and polite :-)
I'd recommend you wear layers, as it was quite warm with all those people in one room :-D

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Very sleepy tonight!!! This is how my morning went...

5.45am - gave up on sleep!
6.30am - time to get up and shower
7.30am - left hotel to walk the 2.5 miles to the Embassy mostly thru Hyde Park - nice relaxing walk
8.30 - phone deposited at pharmacy and in line for security at the embassy! After emptying my bag and everything going thru the scanner separately following the scanner showing electronics, he finally asked if I had any cards that have batteries or anything and I thought - OH YEAH!!!!! I had 2 cards in the file that Jason had sent that speak to me!! He took them back out to mum who had been waiting to see me in ok and gave them to her! Bag repacked, rescanned and off I went to go in!
8.40am - sitting in embassy - let the wait commence!
9.00am - Called to window 14 where I had to submit all the forms - birth/police certificates and affidavit with supporting evidence. Finger prints taken. She asked a couple of times if I had... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Hello All, I don't want to bore you with all the details as to how to get to the Embassy in London or how to get through Security etc. as I'm sure that's all been said more than enough elsewhere. I would like to say though that my experience was overall a very positive one and the people at the Embassy were nice and professional. If you are going through the NVC in New Hampshire than your file will be sent to the EMbassy in London and will include pretty much everything you will need on the day of the interview. Even though the immigration interview letter will not ask you to bring any proof of relationship, do yourself a favor and bring as many photos as you can. I was asked if I had any photos on me and showed the Consul a wedding album and then was further asked for older pictures which I was able to produce as well. I was certainly glad to have brought all those pictures with me, even though again, I was not asked to do so. The interview itself was not very long, maybe 10 minutes m... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Caught a 5:43am train from my local station. Got into London Eustob just before 8 am. Got the tube to bond street and walked to the Embassy from there. Got outside to queue up around 8:20am. Got into the main building at 8:49am so only 30 mins of waiting outside. Went to reception and they gave me my number (I919) and then I went up into the waiting room. I think it must have been around 11:45ish when they first called my number.

First time I got called up was basically to hand in all my documents like my birth cert, police cert, the affidavit of support and the evidence, photo's for the visa and also scanned my fingerprints. The guy didnt really talk much apart from telling me what to do/give him and just asking when I would be flying so I said hopefully in 2 weeks time. He gave me a CD that has my chest x-ray on it from the medical and also form to fill out (for the courier to arrange delivery) so after 10 mins with him, went and sat back down in the waiting room and f... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

As told to me by my fiancé...

After stopping by Gould's to drop off his phone and other electronic items, he joined the queue at the Embassy gate. He said there were maybe 60 people ahead of him, but he was inside by 7:50AM.
Around 8:35AM, he met with a black woman who had braided hair with gold beads on the ends. She also happened to be from my birth state of Maryland, go figure! He said she was nice. She took his paperwork and compiled the file that would be used for the interview. In the interview letter, they asked him to bring the DS-156, 157 and 156k forms, even though those were already mailed in. He had copies of all of those plus the DS-230, which wasn't mentioned in the letter. However, when he went to the first window, he was asked for all of those DS forms, including the DS-230. So, make sure you have copies of all of the DS forms submitted and bring at least one additional set of copies just in case.

She also said that if the petition... read complete review
