Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was scheduled for 10am, so i arrived just before 9 to be on the safe side. I was in the waiting area just after 9. I had read from a lot of people that I should bring a book, but to be honest, it was way to hard to concentrate with numbers being called out every 30 seconds!! So I gave up on the book. I had a long wait, cos I wasn't called to the first window until 10:45. I had to hand over:

2 passport photos
Passport
Birth Certificate (+ copy)
Police check (+copy)
I-134
2008 Tax Return
Employer Letter
Recent bank statement (showing stocks and their values)

I then had to give finger prints, and pay the visa fee at the window right beside mine. When I returned, I was given back my X-Ray and given a pink slip to fill in for the visa courier, and told to return to the waiting area.

My next wait was only for about half an hour, when I was then called up for my interview. I was as... read complete review

It was no problem at all for me (Mary, the USC) to attend John's K-1 interview with him at the London embassy. They merely looked at my passport in the security line, and then wrote my name on his interview letter.

We were issued our appointment number at 7:38AM for an 8:00AM appointment. Apparently, the immigrant visa issue numbers have changed; they're no longer the 5000 series. We were assigned I854 and there were three others ahead of us, the first being I851. (Non-immigrant visa applications all had numbers that started with N, the first of the day being N100. There were a few other applicants who had numbers that began with E or D, but I have no idea what kinds of visas those were.)

We were there early enough to see them opening up for the business day, starting up the monitors, raising the window shades, etc. During the two hours we were there, they called over 100 non-immigrant visa applicants to the windows, so they were definitely busy.

Everything went well and actually was a lot quicker than I thought! My appointment was for 10, cleared security by 9.45 and was out by 12. I just found it a bit difficult to hear the first officer I dealt with. The room was really busy (as it always is I guess!) and it didn't help being near to a giant fan, plus her accent was a bit difficult to understand. Another personal thing - I really didn't like being questioned by her as to why I was on antibiotics - it doesn't really have anything to do with the visa!

I was shocked when I was called for my interview so soon and had to gulp down the cup of tea I'd just bought. The guy I dealt with said "Lets get this done quickly cos I know you've been waiting for a while", I said "It was faster than I thought". Very nice guy and over and done with in about 2 mins.

My only real issue is the fact that I had to go all the way down to London when there's a US Consulate in Edinburgh!!!
