Review Topic: K1 Visa

stayed at the Marble arch inn which is just a short walk from the embassy, only 10 minutes and really easy to get to from the underground. Arrived at the embassy at 7am and there was a few people already waiting. First thing to do is check appointment letter and then remove watches and belts and wait in the second line, this was very quick. Went through security and then into the embassy. Collect ticket with your number on it and wait in the large room.
Only a short wait, only 10 - 15 minutes then my number was called so with sweaty hands and knocking knees I had my first interview. This lasted for 45 minutes and was mainly going through all the paperwork and giving orginal documents. This was done by an English woman who then said that a consulate officer would review it all and then I would be called to a different window and to keep checking the screens.
I then had an hour and a half wait, where I spoke to GOD and any body else who I thought would help. My number w... read complete review

Ok, so only going on what I remember of what David told me. He said it was very simple. We had submitted a photo of ourselves acting silly and basically the only question they asked was to see the "goofy" photo. He said they wanted to know how we met. Other than that, not alot. They looked at the Support letter I sent just to verify he had it. Glad its finally over!

Arrived at the Embassy at 7:45 and got inside at 8:00
big room with lots of chairs the computer screens weren't on at the time so instead we had some bloke calling at the numbers...

waited for about 4 hours (damn long time) and got my number called out to window 13, went over and a middle aged lady took all what was required off me...birth cert...police record....I-193 plus evidence..passport photo's all the usual stuff without cracking one smile...miserable women lol told me to go and sit back down and wait for my number again which I did

thankfully only had to wait another 20 mins before they called my number again which was the actually interview and window 16 middle aged bloke this time and at least he put me more at ease talking to him asked all the usual questions
how did we met (playing a game on facebook)
who contacted who first... read complete review

I left my mobile at home, no electrical items are allowed in the building, including ipods, cameras, etc. Just took my bag, with all my documents.

got there early, it really doesn't matter what time your interview is, I would suggest to get there earlier , cos they give you a number and you wait for your number to be called, so doesn't really matter what time your interview is I think, as long as it's meant to be that day.

waited outside for while, went through security, then walked round and in the building, gave my letter of appointment to the receptionist and got given my number.

one big room, with tea, coffee and snacks at the back. that's it I sat and i waited. The whole time numbers are being announced and told what window to go to, I waited, and waited, and waited ate a banana, and waited, got a coffee, and waited

over two hours later.....my number was called.

after all the waiting you don't expect the CO... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I got to London the day before to save any undue stress, I checked out the location of the Embassy that day. I stayed at the Lincoln Hotel which is 5-10 minutes away from the embassy. The Hotel was really nice and friendly and I would recommend it to anyone attending an interview and wanted to stay over.

Now for the interview, I arrived at the embassy for 7.30 am there was a small queue of about 40 people. We were asked to start the line again to check our paperwork, ( this meant that I was at the front ) great!! I then went inside where they scan you I had a bottle of water and forgot 2 memory sticks that were in my purse good for me my sister( she was outside) took them. I then entered and got my number on my letter.(1903) I sat down at 7.45 am and was called at 8.15 am to window 13 the lady was really nice. The Lady asked me about my fiancee and how we met. The way she spoke to me was really informal. The paper work she said was all in order and there were no conc... read complete review
