| Embassy Review : |
I found $10/day parking in Dorchester Square and walked the 900m to the embassy. They were checking people in 30 minutes early. After completing a screening, I entered the airport-like security. My phone and Apple Watch were put in a tiny locker and I went upstairs in an elevator. There were 2 passport-office-style partitions: one for US citizen services and one for Visas. I was asked for my passport, passport photos, and proof of payment. I was given a number ticket and sat down in the open waiting area. 20 minutes later, I was called to one window and asked to review our information. I was then asked for a copy of my passport bio page, the affidavit of support, and my birth certificate. I was asked about my occupation, and told to take a seat again. 20 minutes later, I was called to a different window. I swore to tell the truth, and the man reviewed the domestic violence brochure. I was then asked the following questions:
-what is your love story
-where did you meet
-what does your fiancé do, and where
-what are your travel plans
-what are your wedding plans
He advised that he intended to approve the visa and I was given my birth certificate back. There are bathrooms and water fountains available. |

Timeline Comments: 2Thanks for sharing your experience at the Consulate. It helped prepare me for mine!
I was talking to a US Border Services agent last week when I was travelling to the US on a B2 and he said he saw a K1 visa that was only valid for a couple of weeks rather than the standard 6 months, due to Covid he assumed. Would you mind sharing the validity period of your approved K1 Visa? Thank you!
My visa is valid until March 30 2022, 6 months from the date of my medical exam! Good luck!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
