Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 4, 2015 Embassy Review : Arrived at 8am for a 9am interview, was pulled out of the long sign in queue (along with all other immigrant visa hopefuls)almost immediately and sent straight into the security check booth. Given a personal number at reception and then sent into the waiting room to wait for my number to be called, which took over an hour before the screen at the front of the waiting room pinged up my number, 9.40am. Clerk at the window took my fingerprints, passport and all original documents requested then sent me back to the waiting room to await call for interview. Somewhere around 10.20 - 10.30 my number was called again and the woman at the window checked my fingerprints and then asked me to take an oath for truth. he questioned me on how I met my wife, what she does for a living, what I plan to do for work, who lives in the same household, what do they do and then asked for a few details about his college. She then said my visa was approved, any more questions and that was it! Overall a very simple process, with friendly staff. There were quite a lot of other hopefuls there but very few immigrant visa applicants (I noticed the numbers went up to 25 whilst I was there). The only thing I did note was that there was little provision for those with babies and that parents were asked to sit on the end of seat rows with their pushchairs by them - it might have been better to have a space where they could be parked, G4S security did not want people standing up in the only space that was an obvious spot to leave pushchairs. 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.
