Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was scheduled for 9am and after a fraught journey into the city I only arrived at 8:45. I allowed 3 hours to get just 50 miles from my home to the embassy and I needed every minute. I strongly suggest you leave plenty of time to arrive as travel can go wrong!

On arrival there was a single queue on the North side of the building that then went behind some construction fencing as it turned south along the front of the embassy. While I stood there the security guard divided us up so those there for 9:30 appointments had to wait. She supplied us with clear plastic bags. One had to contain electronic items that could not be taken in (phones, mp3 players...laptops are a big no no!) and in the other went my belt, wallet, change, watch etc. You will get this bag back after security. Interestingly and contrary to what I have read here or on the US Embassy website they had no problem with my Fiancée coming in with me...in fact she was ready to go and wait it o... read complete review

It was simple and to the point if you have all of your paperwork organized and ready. The one thing that does seem odd to me is that the information on the website for K-1 visa's and the information given from the consulate is not exactly accurate with what they want to see in the interview. Or even through out the process. At any rate! It's been approved and we're happy.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

After trying desperately to get some sleep on Sunday night, I eventually gave it up at 3am and got out of bed. I felt awful, I had a lousy sore throat and blocked nose and felt so tired that walking was an effort, but despite all that, I was still sort of excited. I mean this was what i'd been waiting for!!

I chatted to Toby on the phone for an hour while I got dressed and ready and left my house a little after 5am to be at the train station and on my train by 6am. I was early! I got there at 5.30am and sat around as a guy who must have been around 60 years old decided to chat me up. It was so funny, he used the line 'Do you come here often?' He backed off when I told him exactly why I was going to London -but not until after he'd moved up three seats to sit right beside me and breach my personal space. He was close enough for me to see that he had hairs growing out of his ears! YUCK!

Anyway - I had a first class ticket on the train (not because i'm loaded... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Quick and easy...wanted to show them all the stuff we had been collecting over the last many monthes...but they didn't want to see it (OK- cant complain)! However they said we'd recieve our visa in 5 days, so we booked a ticket home on the 7th day- it took I think 11 days and lots of money to change the ticket. They said there was nothing they could do to speed it up or let us know when it was going to arrive.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Thank God, I got through this whole visa process!
My interview was at 8am, I got to the Embassy about 7:45.
I was 3rd in line, and after about half an hour I handed in all my documents, I was so amazingly nervous, as i thought I was going to be denied, due to a caution I got 4 years ago, for theft. When I was eventually called for my interview, I was kind of all over the place, the officer told, me that it did not matter about my arrest. The fuss seemed mostly to do with Tax returns, I submitted a joint sponsor, at that moment. However we had a lawyer file the i864, and he calculated her yearly income, to more then what was actually reflected on the tax return by almost $10,000 My husband asked me to cross it out, but I was so nervous i forgot. Anyway he approved it all. I got a text message to say my us embassy package will be delievered tomorow, however Im worried, that they may have discovered my error, and denied me, and just sent my passport, as it seems so fast. T... read complete review
