Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-5 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 13, 2014 Embassy Review : We were at the Embassy an hour ahead and joined a long, but well managed queue. We had to drop off at a local pharmacy, our small overnight case (Charge £5) as luggage can't be brought into the reception and waiting areas. Our interview letter was accepted at reception and a ticket number issued. Some 25 interviewers were in attendance. The first interview took place at 8.45am (our appointment was for 8.30am) and dealt with all paperwork and medical records. The process included the taking of all fingerprints and the handing over of an additional passport size photograph. On completion some documents including chest x-rays, were returned and passports taken. The second interview( with a different interviewer from the first) was completed by 9.50am during which we had to take the oath and have our fingerprints taken for a second time. The questions posed at the second interview were: (1) When did we plan to enter the US? (mandatory 6 month time limit from date of chest x-ray. (2) Who the sponsor was (family relationship) and their occupation? (3) Where we would be living in the USA? (4) This question was addressed to us several times 'had either of us ever been refused entry to the US under the visa waiver scheme?' (5) Addressed to your mum 'had she ever been to Colorado?' This appeared to be a random question, designed to measure response reaction. On completion of the interview we were informed that the interviewer had accepted our applications and that our passports complete with visas would be returned via courier (as previously arranged) within 14 days. Overall the Embassy process was dealt with on a professional and courteous basis. Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
