A positive experience, every member of staff were kind and approachable.
Arrived 30 mins early, there was no queue for the queue taken on the right, guided by a lady who checked passport and appointment letter.
Straight through security airport style. Opened my phone and an app of my choosing to show the security officer.
Through to the main building and no queue. This lady looked at passport and interview letter and gave me a number, you go up in the lifts and take a left, left for the correct area which is not visible upon entering this floor.
Take a seat and it there are many screens where you can clearly see the numbers as they as called, and to which window.
First time I was called to give passport, birth certificate, marriage and divorce certificate and spouses divorce certificate.
Here I also notified of spouses recent change of address which will also be mine on entry to the States.
Short 10 minute wait in same area to read a double a4 paper regarding domestic violence and rights.
Called to interview window, the lady was lovely. Asked where spouse lives, does for a living, how we met. Did not ask for any photographs etc.
I received a refusal as my spouses divorce certificate was not certified which was a huge oversight, as we had got this together when in the States so I assume I gave the certified copy over instead of a copy at some stage, maybe for wedding?
I received an email 2 hours later from embassy with instructions to submit when I receive the fresh doc.
My husband sent over a new certified copy same day, and when I received this Tuesday, I took straight to the closest DX courier (from a list thru embassy email) and it arrived Thursday at the embassy. Friday it changed to administrative processing and then issued same day. So so happy and relieved. Just waiting on passport to arrive.
Good luck to all still going thru this x
