Hi, for some of us it can take a couple of weeks to be up and running on the system. It took me I think 2 weeks, some have been longer, some shorter.

Don't panic ..... you're in good hands as you're DCF through London ... you'll probably be approved in 2 minutes and not even get the chance to see it online :jest: .... really wish I'd been in the position to do that myself.

All hail the US Embassy in London, as they're on the ball compared to others. When I realised that a K3 has to be filed in the country you marry in .... I kicked myself at getting married Stateside .... it would've been super fast (in comparison to US) if I'd married in the UK.

Goodluck X

Thanks! it is very nice to hear that this way is quicker because i have been reading some of these timelines and getting so discouraged! But i have had a big price to pay for this..lol.. I'm a country girl.. Living in a city in England.. for the past 15 months.. Cannot wait to get back home! and My husband.. the applicant absolutely loves it!! so he cannot wait either.. Anyways.. Thanks for your reply :-)

YuandDan.. Thanks..and sorry ..lol.. I am never any good at this forum stuff.. And until yesterday we did believe we were doing the K-3! and Then I noticed on our NOA that it said CR-1 and remembered seeing that in this forum so refered back to it.. Imagine our surprise when we realised we'd been researching on all the wrong things!! lol..

If you're filing for a CR1 it will be a little longer than K3 .... but at least you'll still be way ahead of all us folks who have to go through the US.

Yes, I understand the country girl in London thing (hectic place) .... but at least you can pretty much plan on being Stateside way before Christmas (probably end of Summer, but that's just a guess due to the fact they process most of your paperwork in London). And your stuff is probably being processed concurrently.

When you get your visa and board the plane, please spare a small thought for us Brits who are inadvertantly stuck in the mass USCIS system .... and know you did it right :yes:

this is so disappointing to read! My husband and I thought that this would take only around 6 months... and were hoping to flee the country by the end of may.. early june!! When i done my fiance visa to enter the UK and get married..it took just under 6 months.. lol well that has just ruined my day.. tomorrow.. and the weekend! *sigh* but oh well.. Thanks anyways!

Thanks britishguy... My husband thought as much but wasn't sure... Just as well.. They would probably block me from the site once they realised I checked it 50 or so times a day. ( No joke ) lol but i can't believe i'd be the only person like that!

Yeah it's a shame that we can't check up on progress.....I suppose it's a consolation that we are being processed by the fastest embassy in the world for these things.
