Great thank you! Yes I ticked the box.

I have a question regarding our Social Security numbers. Does anyone know how long it takes to generate and does this automatically happen once we've passed through immigration? I was out on an 01 visa years ago so I do already have an SS but not sure if they've re allocated back to me. Any advice?

We received 2 very large brown envelopes along with the passports. Not to be opened until we go through immigration...

I received a shipment notice via email 2 days after the interview to let me know that passports were on their way.

Hi! When you go to pick up the passports (this was my preference) from the DX office in Chancery Lane then they also handed me the HUGE brown envelopes. Does anyone know what is inside them?? K

How absolutely appalling and such a highly stressful situation. I am so glad you got them back in the end. The whole process is nerve wracking enough as it is without that nightmare at the end. Good luck in the USA! I leave the UK on May 19th 🇺🇸

Sorry typo - I think you were there when my son and myself were also there! (Apologies - I am very tired!)

i think you were with my son and myself today! you smiled at me when you came out of the booth! i had a pink jacket on. Mine was also approved today 😊

Actress and voice over artist. I think he was just cross checking with his own details! As I was telling him he was looking at his screen and then typing.

Hi All, We had our interview this morning. 8.30am - entered building and made our way up to 1st floor. 9.45am - interview took place - handed over the sealed envelope. Had to be sworn in. Then he asked me ONE question. "Can you tell me about your profession?" Oh and also if we (my son and myself) had lived anywhere else. But that was it. He then checked our finger prints again. Handed back our original documents and said "I'm happy to say your visa has been approved - passports will be ready to collect in 7-10 days". I asked him if there was anything left to pay and he said no more money was due. 10am - left embassy! APPROVED. The whole process from the EB1A being approved by NVC has taken 6 months. Sept 13th 2024 - March 5th 2025. Hope this helps.

Hi! We (my 20 year old son and myself) were also in at 10.30am and they make sure that you are seen so there's enough time for you to get down to the Embassy. I would get an Uber as it takes the stress out of the situation. It's about £18. They tell you at the medical it's between 12pm-1pm to get to the Embassy but it's actually until 2pm. I asked her and said I was concerned we weren't going to make it but she smiled and said not to worry! They let the embassy know that you are heading down there so when you get there you already on a list. I would get there earlier (for medical) if you are at all anxious as it seems to be first come first serve basis... At the Embassy go to the window on the road first, they will give you a pink slip and then you go to another door which will take you through security, then another entrance with more checking. Then you go upstairs to get officially checked. We saw 2 different officers. It's all very well organised! You will see 3 separate doctors. 1. Chest X ray. 2. Vaccinations. 3. Doc for medical check up/ go through report/ eye test/ weighed/ measured and blood test if you need it. Good Luck!

When I went to the embassy last week to go over my documents before my interview in 10 days time, he asked me if I was self petitioned, then he ticked the 'OK' box on pink slip that said 'Avvidavit of Support/ Proof of Assets'. I took nothing to do with financial proof. I am self petitioned EB1 A. Alien of Extraordinary etc etc...

Ok thank you!

Is this by credit/ debit card in the actual building straight after the interview?

Hi! Can I ask did you need to pay for anything at the Embassy such as your Biometrics? Or anything after your interview had finished?
