Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The interview commenced with the raising of my right hand, taking an oath that all information was true and complete.
I was then asked several straightforward questions:
- When did you and your spouse meet?
-- How did you and your spouse meet?
- Where does our spouse live?
-- Why did you (and your spouse) recently move across country? (Texas -> Virginia)
- Do you have the 2019 tax return/filings?

I was particularly confused by the final question, as I was absolutely certain all the documents (3 years of tax returns) had been submitted/accepted. The officer notified me that only the 2018 tax returns were available, and that she wouldn't be able to issue my visa until their submission.

I presented her the hardcopy of 2019, which she accepted, but explained that I would have to upload and digitally submit this document, and contact the designated e-mail address once completed.

I asked how significantly... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

A quick update.

Interview Date: 14th December 2020 @ 11:30am.
A 38 minutes London underground journey from my home to Vauxhall and out via exit 4 which led to a 7 minute walk to the Embassy South Pavillion.

I arrived 30 minutes before my appointment and was welcomed into an airport style check point after my interview letter was checked. I was directed to the main building where my interview letter and DS260 were checked again and sticker with queue number applied. Directed to the1st floor via elevator. Once out the elevator, it was 2 left turns to immigrants visa section.
3 other applicants in seating area, smart/casual dressed. So I didn't feel out of place.

I sat and observed monitors while feeling anxious. My number showed up against window to go to. As I approached window, the greeting of a smile and casual "Hi" from Consular Officer 1 quickly helped me to relax. The process was explained, I was asked for original copies ... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

My husband's appointment went way better than we expected. After all this wait, we made sure to have everything in line: all paperwork with 2 copies, practiced interview questions and he stayed at Travel Lodge which was only a 10 min walk from embassy. He arrived 30 min prior to appointment and they let him in right away. He said everyone was so nice, to the point where he thought it couldn't be real. He went to the first desk where the woman looked over our paperwork, she said everything was good and told him to have a seat. After 5 minutes he was called to the window for the interview. He was only asked 2 questions, they did not keep any copies, the woman was so pleasant. She said "You don't need to worry about anything anymore, I have approved you!" My husband was in and out in less than 30 minutes-when he called to let me know I couldn't believe it! He was the only one there at the time. Can not say enough how grateful we are to have such pleasant people working at the London Embas... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I was actually running late for my interview - phoned the embassy and while the lady I spoke to said she couldn't contact the immigrant visa unit, there was time allotted for lateness.

Interview was at 10. Arrived at 10:15, went through airport style security. Went to check in and was asked for ds260 page and passport both times. Was instructed to go up the lift to the first floor and hang a left. Lady at the top after I got out directed me to the IV waiting area.

Waited maybe 10 minutes before being called to a booth. Went through civil documents and fingerprints. All staff encountered thus far were super chill and friendly, process was simple and straightforward, even made a bit of small talk with the first CO about my beard lol.

Sat down again and waited maybe 15 minutes before my number came up again, this time for the 'interview' bit. Was asked a few questions; where would I be staying, where I got married, and for a little more info ... read complete review
