London Interview Experience 28th Jan.
I got my K1 this week! Despite my concerns about being questioned about our age difference (25 years), I wasn't asked about it at all. Total interview time lasted less than 2 minutes but other couples seemed to spend much longer being grilled. The questions were:
Where/how/when did we meet?
How long have you spent together?
Does your fiance rent or own his home?
Is that where you'll live?
What does your fiance do for a living?
What do you do for a living?
Will you look for work in that field?
Have you a date for your wedding?
Where will you get married?
Quick timetable of events:
Got out of the medical at 9.45am
Asked for official papers at 11am
Interview at 1.15pm
Visa issued at 1.35pm
Total time spent in interviews/medical etc - less than 10 minutes. Time spent waiting - approx. 5 1/2 hours.
Welcome to the United States!

Congratulations Jayne to you and your fiancé on your K1. So when will you get married and when are you flying over (or are you already here?)

Re: London Interview Experience 28th Jan.
Congratulations!
The age difference wasn't an issue at my interview either. The interviewer did mention that 50% of the people he sees have met on the internet. I suppose that may also increase the likelihood of couples having a larger age gap. There's certainly a few of us here, hubby is 22 yrs older than me. It's great isn't it!
