IR-1 / I-130 - DCF to London - how soon for decision after interview?

Hi Everyone

I've got my interview date for London Embassy, 18 August, and I'm wondering if people can advise from their experiences - how long does it take to get a decision following the interview? (assuming everything goes well of course!)

I ideally need to hand in my notice to work by the end of August, in order to emigrate by xmas - so just wanting to know whether I'm likely to have received a decision by then

Also, what generally happens after the interview? Do they simply send you written notification, you get your passport back, then you're good to go? Or are there more steps and processes after this?

Many thanks!

If everything goes well, you'll get the decision on the spot and your visa within a few weeks. Remember that your visa will expire 6 months after your medical exam, so that's your deadline to travel to the US.

Edited: I had originally posted to ask where you were in the process -- at the I-130 or visa stage. Later saw a previous post that said your I-130 had already been submitted. As the moderators frequenly say -- filling in your timeline would help others provide the best information for your questions.

If you have no problems with the medical or any ineligibilities, you should have no problems getting the visa in time for a December move.
