Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 16, 2017 Embassy Review : My interview was at 12:00 on a Friday and the entire process was very quick and efficient. There was a short queue outside to get through security which took about 5 minutes, before I was directed to the waiting area. All the staff were very friendly and polite and after taking a seat for 15 minutes my number came up and I was called to the first window to have my documents checked. This process lasted around ten minutes including a brief trip around the corner to the cashier to make payment. I took a seat again for another 15-20 minutes before being called up to the second window for the actual interview. The interview itself only lasted 4-5 minutes with a few quick questions about my relationship with my wife and where we would be living in the United States. It felt more like a friendly chat then an interview. I left thoroughly impressed with how helpful and polite everyone had been. The restroom was also very clean and tidy. Nothing but good things to say from me! 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
