| Embassy Review : |
Took the 536am train from Doncaster to Kings Cross – arriving at 7:31am approx.
Needed the bathroom, a word of advice they charge 30p at the station to use the facilities :o
Got a cab and was on route to the embassy, so far so good, taxi fare from Kings Cross is around £15 the journey took around 15 minutes.
On arrival they was already two lines formed, one for 8am, one for 830, I joined the later as my appointment wasn’t until 9am. Within 5 minutes a lady walked the line to check our times, another line was formed for 9am’s, great I was fourth in line for this one
Again the same lady came down asking which visa’s we have, K1 I informed her, she said go see that guy there he’ll get you straight through :D, so that was it front on the line and ready to go through the security scan. So struggling to put my belt back on I rounded the corner and climbed the steps. The receptionist looked at my appointment letter and issued a number starting with the letter I
I found a seat, at this time there were plenty, the display board starting pinging displaying numbers, mostly starting with the letters N and E, and window numbers.
After what I would say a 90 minute wait my number popped up, this was it, I stopped at the allotted window and was asked for various documents, finger prints taken and he disappeared for a second, I could see him walking down the room, he came back with our file, which was about an inch thick. He said that’s ok, go talk a seat and await your number called, I enquired how long do you think that will be, maybe 30 – 45 minutes.
Arriving back in the hall it was now SUPER full, I found a seat near the back, in hindsight, not a good place to be as there are people stood up in front of you blocking sight of the illusive notice board.
40 minutes later *PING*, off I went, this time a different window, finger prints taken just from the right hand and I was sworn in, there were some tricky questions but nothing untoward, this was as he was thumbing through our folder, so I guess they are spontaneous and not premeditated. He handed me my xray cd from the medical and said “Congratulations and welcome to America” I couldn’t stop beaming, I repeated thank you, thank you. He said your documents will be back to you in 10 days, good luck.
That was it

Hi
Arrived at Newark at 12:50 local time, its the busiest Ive ever seen it, the queue went on for 40 mins
Arrive at the counter, the lady was lovely, she scanned my passport, only took finger prints from one hand. Then she asked me to open the big white envelope - I looked puzzled - she answered "its ok Ive asked you too and its in from on me", So I tore open the envelope and she removed its contents.
A few minutes later I was on my way to secondary interview, I was accompanied in the elevator but a friendly guy, he was making small talk.
So my paperwork got handed in, I was asked to take a seat, I waited for 10 minutes, then called - the only question I was asked, "When are you getting married?" With that I was wished good luck and left to go get my luggage and find my love :D |

*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.
