London Embassy CR1 interview wait time

[AfrobabeUK 4]

@M S Khan

How long have you been married?

You say your wife currently lives in London, was she living elsewhere before?

Did you not provide things like pictures, boarding passes etc with the initial package? Just asking incase those are things they need to establish bonafide marriage. 

Hopefully more knowledgeable people with experience will chime in.

We have been married since March 8th, 2023. We only provided wedding pics. Initial package didn’t have traveling history/boarding passes. Also, we didn’t initially submit any chat history or combined financial. All of this is now emailed to them…

Sounds like it's more for diligence. I am yet to go to the interview, but we provided our chats over the years,boarding passes, pictures and relationship history etc. You should be OK after that you've now provided. All the best 👍🏾.

My (london) husband and I (us) were DQ'd on April 21st but have not gotten our IL with the interview date yet. We thought we'd get the IL in June, but we didn't. Does this timeline seem "normal"? Should we be getting one in July now? We have concerns there is a delay that we are unaware of. Any thoughts/guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think you should wait till end of June. Hopefully you will get one and interview will be in 2nd week of Aug. good luck

Once you are scheduled for interview, please make sure you sign up for Courier service https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv . You wouldn't be able to enter the embassy without the confirmation email from the courier service.

hello.. we were dq’d on the 24th or april and someone else on the 18th of april.. no interview letter yet. for some weird reason they have totally changed their pattern that they have had for the past year. so frustrating.

@M S Khan

Yes, I saw that noted within this thread so I've told my husband that we need to make sure we register the appointment date on that website once we get our IL. Thank you so much.

hi! just read a april 18th DQ’d received their interview letter today for august 7th. have you received your interview letter yet?  

[DC58 2]

@M S Khan

No, not yet. But I'll be on the lookout now that you've mentioned someone got theirs today.

Their schedule recently has been so off... I thought they only sent them out once a month (at the end of the month)?

It's all just very frustrating. Especially when there's nothing more we can do but sit and wait.

Fingers crossed for both of us. 🤞
