My fiancé arrived at 9:30 for his 10 am appointment on Aug 9. He took a bus into Victoria station and walked about 40 minutes to the embassy. There was a short line to get through security. He was annoyed they shoo’d him away as he was packing his stuff up after going through. At the next area, he joined the short line for US citizens despite being told by me to go up to the front desk, but it didn’t matter much, as the line took 5-10 mins to get through. After stickers were placed on his He was sent up the elevator. He was asked for his birth certificate, passport photo, passport, police certificate, and the affidavit of support form and documents. The DS160 was not asked for.
He then had to wait about 45 minutes for his turn at the interview booth. The questions asked were:
1. What does your fiancé do for a living?
2. Where does your fiancé live?
3. Does she have kids and how many?
4. Where did you meet? My fiancé said online and the guy told him to be more specific.
The man doing the interview was matter of fact but friendly.
After the questions, he asked my fiancé what happened when he was 18. We didn’t understand that “no live trace†on the police certificate would be an issue.
The interviewer told my fiancé to not worry
, as this situation is quite common, but he would have to give him a 221(g) form. He was instructed to call ACRO for information regarding the police cautions he was given decades ago, and to tell them to give the embassy permission to call ACRO to verify what happened. My fiancé did this immediately on leaving the embassy, and he thinks this helped to shorten the delay of the visa approval.
His visa was issued one week later. Good luck to everyone undertaking their interviews soon!
