Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 15, 2019 Embassy Review : So I’m sat on my train home and still trying to let the words “approved” sink in. Think that’s going to take a few more days yet! Not much to add to that doesn’t echo the previous reviews. It wasn’t as scary as I feared. It was a pretty painless experience. Arrived at the embassy around 10:40, my interview was at 11:30 so wondered to Waitrose as I needed something to soothe the annoying ticket cough I had. It was 11:00 when I headed over and there was hardly a que and the girl took my documents and in I went. Security straight forward like everyone said. Qued a little while to get in by it’s very simple to find your way to where they do the interviews. My number was already on the screen so went straight up where a cheerful chap went through asking for my paperwork (none of those extra evidence pieces I had fretted about having asked for) he asked me a couple of questions but it was quick and simple. Now unfortunately I then had a 50 minute wait for my next interview as they only seemed to have one person doing them at first. The gentleman I had was pretty serious and my nervous small talk was ignored. He asked the following from what I remember as I’m a little hazy right now to all details. He did the oath then asked me : What was my fiancé’s line of work? When did we meet? What online platform did we meet on? How long did it take for us to meet in person? (He wanted to know how many months ) How many times had we seen each other in total? He then told me my medical results were that I was healthy. Gave me back my documents and said..”Looks like we are almost ready to approve you” Now I had to double check he meant I was getting approved as he moved straight onto the instructions for what to do when I got my visa. I saw him write the A on my folder and that was it. Just like that months of stress over! If when I get home I can think of more to add I will I just can’t remember it all right now!! Home to sleep as it’s been a long day and of course I slept zero amounts last night 😂 Rating : Very Good

*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
