Got up at 6:15am, got the tube into London, arrived at the embassy and joined the que, it was early so it wasnt to bad, went in they gave me a ticket 007 and told me to take a seat and wait to be called.
About half hour passed and i was called to booth number one, there was a nice lady, she asked me to place my left four fingers onto a scan machine , then the right four fingers, then my two thumbs, she then asked me for my Birth Certificate, police certificate and a wage slip from my fiance, also gave her two more pictures, she gave me my X-Ray back, then told me to go to booth number twelve to pay £53 for the visa.
Once that was done i was told to go back and sit down, then wait to be called for the interview.
Half hour passed and i was called to booth 15 where i spoke to a man, he asked me to place my left four fingers onto the scan machine, i was asked to raise my right hand and swear than i was telling the truth about what i was saying was true, he asked how i... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

AS narated by my Fiancee:

Stayed at the Hilton Euston, walked to the Embassy and arrived an hour early for 1030 appointment. Was directed to a line that moved very slowly. Noticed a lot of people cutting in line while outside for two hours.
Once inside things went quickly, although very nervous. I had two questions I was supposed to ask, but forgot. 1) Can you shed any light on the POE/Ead rules? 2) can I come back later for my visa instead of using the courier?

I was asked how we met, when we last saw each other, what did USC do for work, when will I fly out. I had prepared two large folders, but never managed to show a photo, e-mail, receipt, boarding pass, etc. as proof of ongoing relationship.
Arranged for the passport to be delivered to my workplace two days later. Was done and out in 45 minutes.

My appointment was for 0900 and I arrived around 0810 to find a queue already formed, the woman in charge checked my letter and I got directed to a line.It was bitterly cold and it took an hour to get into the security shack where they take your electronic devices, check your shoes and bag etc. Once inside the embassy I got the ticket from a really confused girl on the front desk and then sat in the Argos style waiting area and was surprised to be called up after only 10 mins - the lady at the window then asked me for my application forms, I explained about sending it all pack with packet 3 and she looked totally confused until the penny dropped and she realised the front desk girl had issued me with the wrong ticket type...I then waited around 20 minutes to be called to the right window where I handed in my passport,certificates, affadavit etc and tried to provide my fingerprints - it was taking my hands a while to warm up from the cold outside and the ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was for 10.30am. I joined the queue outside the embassy at 9.45am and i'm glad i did. It was bitterly cold, and lots of people waiting to get in, so it took a good hour before i made it to the front of the line, through security check, and into the building to defrost. Once into the embassy, you get given a number, and then you simply wait in room to be called. Was called up twice, once to provide the documentation, i.e passport, support of evidence etc and to pay the visa fee, the second time i was called was for my interview.. was asked basic questions about the relationship and our plans, and then i was told i was approved! Was instructed to pay the courier for my passport to be delivered and go home. Inside the embassy I was only waiting for hour an half for the whole process to be completed. None of the extra evidence such as phone bills, pictures etc were asked for, but i definitely felt good for taking them in case they had any doubts. Worst part of the day was wait... read complete review

Stayed in a little hotel on the other side of Oxford street (Edward Lear Hotel) I walked the root the day before it took 5 mins, My interview was at 10am so I woke up at 6:30!!! tried to watch some TV tp calm myself down! left at 9:20 after calling my fiancee so she could wish me good luck! I left my bag and Mobile phone at the hotel reception ( Your not supposed to take any electrical devices ) when I got to the the embassy there was already a huge queue got to a woman who was sorting people into different lines I think they were 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 etc. appointment lines!
after a long wait (over an hour.. not sure no watch! I usually use my phone!) I got to the front of the line and went through security and round the building to the entrance, I went to the front desk and showed the lady my letter she directed me up the steps to the main waiting area where I got a ticket I was waiting only 5 minutes before being called up to one of the windows!
I was asked for my police... read complete review
