Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 25, 2019 Embassy Review : Interview: Friday 22nd March 11:30 First Window: The guy here had my petition in front of him. Took fingerprints here and gave me my x-ray CD from the medical. Documents needed here: Passport - kept DS-160 - returned Birth Certificate - kept Police Certificate - kept I-134f with W2 and bank statement - kept (only one form of support needed from fiancé's mum) Passport photo - scanned them and returned Questions asked: When do you intend on travelling to the US? I told him May hopefully. He said the visa will be valid until August based on 6 months from my medical date. Have you ever had any other US Visas? No Have you ever overstayed on the visa waiver program? No Have either of you ever been married before? No Why is the support his mum? Because he's a student so couldn't cover the full amount needed. Told him about my savings and he didn't want to see. Do you have a letter to say he is a student? No. Then he said the next lady might have further questions about this part but that's ok I don't have it. He handed back the original photos I submitted with the petition. He kept my passport and paperwork to pass onto the next part. Done by 11:37 (about 5 mins total here) Second Window: Next part called around 11:50. A woman this time in a window further down. Had to raise my right hand and take the oath. Had to state my name and fiancés. Questions asked: How did you meet? How long have you been together? How often do you see each other? Why is the support his mum? Fiancé is a full time student due to finish this year What does he study? Does he have a job lined up for after he finishes? Is his mum intending on paying you? No. I told her I had my own savings and a bank statement with me if she needed to see. She just asked how much and I told her. Took fingerprints here again. And then she said I am happy to say you are approved! Wrote a big A on my folder and handed me a card that says the visa should be with me in 7-10 days. Done by 11:56. 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.
