DCF London wait

[belperman26 0]

Hi All.

Well i had my interview yesterday and was approved , Yey.

As for the rest of the time line it took us 3 1/2 months to get the approved I-130 back and then 3 months till interview but i was held up because of my police cert taking so long to get.

I know there has been some discussion on here as to what police cert you can use?? I got the 1 which was £10 and took 40 day but i followed the instructions from packet 3 when i got it. If they send you the packed 3 and it has changed to this new type then follow that, either way i would follow the details on how to obtain all relevant documents from packet 3.

when i send back my forms to say that i was ready i waited about 2 weeks till i got the interview appointment which was 2 weeks later.

I arrived early at the embassy and waited 2 hours to get in, but it was quite smooth when inside took 30 mins to complete.

they said it can take up to 5 days to get my passport back but it came the next day.

This is only time line and I'm sure that others may vary as to how busy the embassy is at the time etc.

so good luck to all and hope this info will help you.

Hi,

I don't think there is a timeline for DFC because each embassy would receive different amounts of applications etc, but there is now quite a bit of info on this forum page.

which part of the timeline do you want to know, i can tell you how it went for me. not saying that it would be exactly the for every one.

I had this problem. I think the timeline doesn't really work for DCFers, but the program tends to pick a US center where it thinks the visa application will be processed. It's a program really made for people applying in the US....not for DCF. The best way to estimate is to keep an eye on the embassy website for your processing time. When yours comes up, you should get Packet 3.

Hi,

I agree. I kept looking at the info on the embassy website, I saw it was taking about 3 months to process the I-130 . I filed in 26 sept ( money was taken) and we got packet 3 on the 3rd of jan 08 , Christmas was in the way lol. So i guess Klemmers that you could expect packet 3 around Mid june if you got the money taken mid March

Packet 3 onwards , well if you have all the required documents and send the checklist and ds-230 part 1 at the same time packet 4, 2-3 weeks?? from then and the interview week or 2 from then??

Hope every thing works out for you, I know i hated the not knowing and the waiting that felt like forever.

Do you have your police cert on the way now?
