Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Just got back from the interview all was good and approved

interview time was 10am, got into line after using goulds to store baggage and get photos done at about 9:30, got through security and into the main waiting room at about 10am, from what i could see my number was the last I number for the day... none came up after mine at least . after about 50mins my number was called window one and met by 3 people i think the person doing the admin part was training even though she was very kind, they went through all the paper work and took fingerprints and general chit chat took about 15mins. After that was done another 30 min wait and was called to window 16 where was asked a few simple questions where you meet when do you want move over and that was it all done within 5 mins no photos taken off me no paperwork taken appart from my letter, was very very simple

Now to book the flights :-)

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I'm making this review on behalf of my Fiance who had his interview today:

His appointment time was 9:00, so he arrived to queue at 8:00 after first going to Gould's to check in his keys and phone, and have his photos taken. Was let in to Embassy around 8:30 and proceeded to wait until 11:00 before his number was even called! He went to a window where his documents were taken for review (and complimented for our organization!) He then waited another half hour or so before he met with an American gentleman from the Embassy who asked just a few questions as to our wedding plans, and Tims plans once he arrives in the states as far as what type of work he'd pursue (he is a teacher). He then said everything was in order, took Tim's passport, and told us we're in!

A little bit of a wait, but all in all a smooth experience.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Hey All,

Just thought I'd post a summary of my K1 interview experience in London. Had it on the 27th Oct at 9am.

Lexi, my fiancee, was over so was able to attend with me. She certainly helped to organise and calm me down. For some reason, even though we knew there was really nothing they could refuse us on, I was a total bag of nerves and terrified of the Entry Clearance Officer giving me a stern and incontestible "Denied."

As the trains were a total rip-off, we opted to catch the National Express coach from Leeds to London at midnight. At that time it takes 6 hours to get there, with 10 stops along the way. Sure, it saved us a LOT of money, but neither of us managed to get any sleep, so we were pretty groggy when it arrived at Victoria Coach Station. We then strolled up towards Hyde Park and Marble Arch. It was pretty weird to wander around a pre-dawn London. The streets were virtually deserted, even outside Buckingham Palace.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our experience at the embassy was very easy and positive. The letter said to arrive at 9:30 a.m., but we were there closer to 8:30 and the guards said we could enter early, but first we had to check in our cell phones at a pharmacy/storage place down the street (somewhere we missed the note that no cell phones, chargers, anything electronic are allowed in). So we marched down there, paid the 3 pounds, got a coffee and ended up 10 minutes late after our leisurely breakfast break, but still no problems getting in and through security and then we waited. After about an hour we were called to a window, paid fees, and provided my fiance's passport and birth certificate to the processor. Then we had to go back and wait, maybe 45 minutes and then we were called back to a window for the interview. We were asked simple questions about how we met, and, since I had traveled from the US to be there with my fiance, what I did for a living and plans for a wedding. After no more than 5 minutes it was... read complete review

Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

Interview was set for 9am, but I arrived at 7:30am to ensure I could get into the building easily. I was 6th out of the people being handled for IR/CR1 visas. They had 2 desks handling IR/CR visas all morning whilst lots of desks took non immigrant varieties.

Interview was very simple with correct preparation.
