The interview at the embassy went very smoothly. I had read reviews before I went for it so I knew what to expect. I was at their newly opened embassy in London (march, 2018). I arrived half an hour before my appointment and followed the directions emailed to me the day before my interview from the embassy.
I went through airport type security on arrival and was directed by staff from then on. The area for k1 visas was around the corner from the main area and had a handful of people so I didn't have to wait long to be called forward to give my police report, birth certificate, passport and affidavit of support to a very nice man. I was informed at this point that they had not received my medical but the process could continue. He gathered my information and I sat down again to wait to be called for the actual interview section. After about 15 minutes my number appeared on the screen and I went to the booth. It was not as formal as I imagined and you literally stand at a window like the post office!
He asked me how I met my fiance, had we met each others families, how many times he had been here, why we were getting married in america and not the uk. It was all very simple questions and I didn't have to show any of the heap of evidence I had brought with me. The interview lasted approx 5 minutes, maybe less. I was told that my visa was approved and would take 3 weeks to receive. The embassy had not received the medical so I think they were accounting for the time that would take. The staff were very friendly and helpful and overall I was there for about 40 minutes.
