Just wanted to update you guys on my case. The interview was schedule on June 13 at Montreal, Canada on may 5. So I called today since I didn't receive any letter, they said they have unscheduled the interview due to an error. So now I am waiting again for an interview date. cc-april20. I wonder if it's happening at all other embassies too.

Just received P4 letter (Interview confirmation letter) via NVC email.

 

So relieved as I have been seeing many cases where interview scheduled received over phone were getting cancelled. I feel bad for all the people whose schedules were cancelled. I had already set up biometrics appointment and hotel reservation.

 

Stay strong everyone, your interview will be scheduled soon. Good luck.

Really sorry to hear that. Seems to have been multiple errors this last week or so. It's happened to Rio also. Hopefully they will reschedule asap for you.

Hello Everyone,

                         I had my Interview at the US Embassy in London yesterday (12th May) and thought it may be useful to share my experience.

 

My interview time was 11:30 am. I reached the embassy at approx. 10:55 am and was told by the gentleman to come back 15 mins prior to my scheduled appointment time. I argued that the website says that I will be let in 30 mins in advance of the appointment time but he dismissed that saying that they had been advised to not let interviewees enter more than 15 mins prior to the time. Anyways I went back at 11:15 am and below is the timeline of what happened afterwards,

• 11:15 am: Lady (who replaced the gentleman that didn't let me in) in the small tent in front of the embassy checked my appointment letter and passport and directed me towards the entrance gate.
• 11:17 am: Gentleman at the entrance gate again checked my passport and appointment letter (in more detail this time) and let me in. This is where I went through the airport style security check. They were happy for me to take my backpack in, just asked me to take the tablet out and show them. They don't let you take the laptops in though.
• 11:20 am: I walked inside the main building of the embassy. I was given my token number and was directed upstairs to take a seat and keep looking at the big giant screen in the waiting room for my token number. I sat at the very last row and screen was at the front of the room but was big enough for me to clearly read everything. Plus it pinged every time a new token number came up.
• 11:25 am: My token number came up on the screen with Window number that I needed to go to. On the window a lady asked for my original (plus translation of non-English documents) marriage certificate, birth certificate, UK police certificate, photos(x2) and the print-out confirmation of the postage registration (for the delivery of passport and immigration documents back to me). She asked whether I had Pakistani police certificate as well to which I said no. She was aware of the fact the Pakistan is one of the countries whose police certificate was not required (country specific guidelines on nvc.gov.uk). I am jointly sponsored by my wife and my brother-in-law. They asked if I had my brother-in-law's passport photocopy as a proof of his citizenship in US. I didn't have it so apologised and got worried. I asked if his tax returns that I have submitted and (also got copied) will not suffice the sponsorship requirement? She said that she can't answer with certainty and that my interviewer will answer that. My finger prints (both hands) were taken at this window and was asked to wait in the meeting room and look out for my token number. The whole process took 6-8 mins.
• 11:40 am: My token number again showed up on the screen with a different window this time. They was a young American man there who was going to interview me. He asked me to raise my right hand up for the oath. He raid the whole statement to which I said in the end. I was then asked series of questions,
  • How did I meet my wife?
  • How and where were we married?
  • What does my wife do?
  • Where is she at the moment?
  • Questions about my brother in law who is my joint sponsor. Name of his wife and kids etc. 
• I don't think there were any pre-planned question and they arose as I started telling the interviewer more about our situation. The whole process lasted 6-8 minutes again. I was told in the end that all is good. Your visa is approved which you will receive in post in two weeks. I was kind of shocked at the swiftness of everything to I asked him again, 'Is this me done for the day now?', to which he said yes.
• 11:51 am: I left the building and called my wife to break the good news. She was equally shocked on the timings but very happy to hear the positive outcome.

So yeah, in a nutshell and very smooth and robust process. There were a lot of people in the embassy which I assume were for the non-immigrant visas as there were a lot of tokens starting with letter 'N'. Mine started with 'I' which I believe referred to Immigrant visa. There were on 3-4 other token numbers starting with I on the giant screen.

 

Best of luck to all who are in the pipeline of this long agonising process. You will get over the line soon.
