Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : April 28, 2011
Embassy Review : I arrived at the embassy around 7:30am for my 9am interview and was surprised to see the size of the queue. There were around 20-30 people in front of me and it took around 20 minutes to get through security. Once inside, I had to show my interview letter, passport and receipt. I was then issued a ticket with a number on it and was told to wait down the far end of the hall as that’s where the window I would be called to was. After waiting for around a half an hour, my number was called. I went to the window where the rudest woman I've ever met greeted me. I handed her my police certificate, court records (as I had 2 minor crimes,) birth certificate, passport and 2 passport-sized photos- which she told me where not good enough even though they were UK passport-standard. After a few heated words, she accepted that it wasn't my fault that her machine didn't work on them and gave them back to me. Finally, I had to give my fingerprints. She then gave me another ticket number (which was the same as my original) and told me to take a seat and wait to be called by an officer. I waited for about another half an hour until I was called. I walked up to the window, very nervous, considering the 2 crimes on my record. It was a man this time, an American, and very pleasant. He put me at ease instantly. He told me to hold my right hand up and swear that everything I was saying was the truth. He then asked for my fingerprints again. He proceeded to ask questions about when and where we met, what she does for a living, what I do, etc..... I could see my police report was sitting on top of my file. He then brought up the dreaded criminal record. He asked me what happened in each of the situations. I breathed a heavy sigh and before I could tell him he said to be calm and not to worry as my visa was already approved. This brought a huge smile to my face, I was elated. I told him exactly what happened in each. Afterwards he said everything was in good order and that my visa had been approved. I then went over to the courier desk, paid the £14 and was out of there within an hour and a half. All very painless!!

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
