8-12 weeks waiting time for UK Embassy interview
Just thought I'd let people know ...
We're currently going through gettin a K1 visa and have got to the stage where I've just returned the Packet 3 IV15 checklist.
Well I rang the INS helpline (0906-1500 590 / £1.50-min) this morning and am informed that the wait, from the Embassy receiving the IV15 to scheduling a medical and interview date is currently 8-12 weeks due to a backlog !
I just thought I'd let anyone who's in the same position, and not aware, know.
I cant say how accurate that estimate will be, just where I got it from.
I feel slightly better knowing something !! but cant say its pleasant as we initially applied (TSC) in January and it may be September before we're together
Has anyone else been given the same sorta timescales ?

Hi, my interview timescale was similar. i sent my documents to the US Embassy April 16th and the date i was give for my interview was June 17th so thats about 8 or 9 weeks, they also told me there was a backlog (i think its a 365 day a year backlog)
