Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 21, 2011
Embassy Review : I had my interview in London on 18th July, set for 9am. I got there at 8, having stayed in Marylebone overnight, dropped my phone off at Gould Pharmacy and joined the queue for security.

There were a number of people who got sent out of security and up to the pharmacy - no electronics means no iPods, car key fobs, phones, you name it, but there were some who either didn't know or didn't realise.

Got through the security and through to the welcome desk past the Met policeman with his MP5 sub-machine gun! and received the code I915 - meaning, I presume, the 15th immigrant visa applicant of the day. I sat down in the waiting area and got my book out!

The wait was just under 2 hours, and I was called through for the document check (taking the original and copies of birth certificate and police certificate, etc) and she took my passport. After a couple of questions I was sent to sit down again.

About 30 minutes later I was called to a different window where the consular officer went through my documents, asked a couple of questions, got me to put Gin's full name on the form and sign it, and then told me I was approved!

Paid my courier fee at the DX desk, and out of the embassy by 11am.

Rating : Good


POE Review: Chicago
Event Description
Entry Date : 2011-08-23
Embassy Review : When we (my fiancee and I) got to the immigration area after landing from London Heathrow, I asked a CBP officer a couple questions regarding the I-94 and the customs declaration. He was very helpful, advised that I only needed to complete the back of the customs declaration if I was bringing in goods bought in the last 12 months or that I was going to sell on in the US - neither applied, so all was good.

We were told that we could join either queue, so ended up joining the USC/LPR queue - we got to the immigration officer and she took the brown envelope, passports, I-94 and customs declaration forms. She handed back the x-ray dvd and said that she doesn't know why the embassies keep telling people to bring them with the immigration stuff - they don't care lol

She went through the forms in the brown envelope, stamping where necessary, stamped our customs forms, discharged my visa and stamped the passport with the end date, and that was it - no secondary, no questions except general ones like where did we meet, etc.

Moved on to pick up our bags from the carousel (3 large cases, one medium case, to go with the two cabin cases and two backpacks that we were already carrying), and then through to the customs point where the officers took the declarations and weaved us through with no searches or anything.

All done, no hassles whatsoever.
Harassment Level : Low

*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
