Review Topic: K1 Visa

My appointment was for 11.30am, and I arrived at 10:30am. The queue to get into the building was huge (trailing back around the building), but by 11am I was checked in and through security. Despite the fact my appointment letter told me to be there no more than 15 minutes early, I think because they were so busy, they were letting people in slightly early just to process the queue. I was definitely glad I had arrived as early as I did.

There were two lines queuing out of the embassy building doors, so I approached a staff member and asked where I should go for a K1 visa. She told me to join the queue, but after 10 minutes of not moving, I knew something was wrong -- and I had previously read on here that K1 visas skip the queue and go straight to the reception desk. When she came back out of the doors to manage the queue, I asked her again -- and this time she took me to the front desk and checked me in. She said it was lucky that I had queried it, as by that point, it w... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Both my Fiancée and I arrived at the embassy 20 minutes before our 9:30am appointment time. The line was long to check in and we didn’t get to the front till about 9:25am. They checked our DS-160 and checked our passports writing my name on the forum. (I had filled out the forum on the UK embassy website to accompany her. That said I never heard back both times I did one month out and 1 ½ weeks out but I guess they had been told.) Then we were sent to the back of the security line which took till about 9:40am to get through. Security was super nice and was giving everyone high fives! After a short walk outside you are in the first floor of the main building and get to stand in another line. (I read you can cut the line but it was moving quick with about 20 people so we waited) At 9:45am they put our sticker on the DS-160 and send us to the elevator. Once on the correct floor you do exactly what others have said go left and then at the end of the hallway left again. Then th... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

Straight forward interview on the 12th July, All staff were friendly and bubbly. And didn't make me feel nervous at all. They asked questions about our relationship but it was just like having a friendly conversation. Unfortunately we needed a joint sponsor so was given the green 212g slip. But we submitted sponsors documents on the 16th July and the 17th July our visa was issued. And in hand on the 19th July.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Doing k1 visa for UK to USA.

the embassy was quite busy with multiple queues outside as i arrived.

i waited in the line at the desk outside, and I spoke to a worker at the desk, just to make sure i was in the right place.
I got "checked in" for my interview appointment, I was early so after being checked in was told to return to the desk 15 minutes before the time given for my interview.
i returned to the same people at the help desk outside of the embassy ( dont need to wait in the queue again if one is there), i was then screened for security.

After security I was told specifically to head inside the main building and report straight to the front desk,
There was a HUGE queue of people running from inside of the main building all the way outside, it felt so wrong but I made my way past the queue and inside the door passing everyone in the line.
Ignoring the queues i reported directly to someone at the desk who ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Reading other experiences on the website, it seems a lot of the time the whole interview process in London is short, unfortunately this wasn’t the case for me.

I arrived far too early (10am for 11am appointment), so sat outside and had a snack before approaching the south entrance 20 minutes before my appointment time. There was no line so I handed over my passport and DS-160 confirmation page, then got sent through the airport security building.

After leaving into the courtyard outside the embassy building, I was told by the lady out front to go straight to the front of the line, so I went left of the two long lines coming out of the door, walked inside and headed straight to the reception table.

The lady there took my DS-160, stuck some stickers on it, including my the number I’d use to be called up to the windows inside, then told me to take the lift to the first floor. When you walk out of the lift you’ll be greet... read complete review
