Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 10, 2020
Embassy Review : So this took place in a COVID filled world before the embassy opened up to non-emergency stuff.

There was a bit of confusion for my appointment as it was an expedite and outside of being offered it I had no communication from the embassy to confirm it or anything. So when I arrived, embassy security had to actually call up to the office as my name wasn't on the list! And after leaving my house at 2am to get to London on time I was on edge lol. Fortunately everything worked out, got through security after showing an app working on my phone and walked through and up the elevators in a very empty/echo filled building.

When I got to the counter area there were about 4 or 5 people working in an office section that would usually have 20 or so people and I waited with about 4 other people in this time block to have my name called and give over some of my original documents to be checked. I was asked a couple of questions and handed the paper about my rights in America etc. Guy was really nice, and there was hand sanitizer and he said to take off the mask etc. as between the glass window and everything, no chance of spreading/catching the virus.

After chatting with him, I waited and got called up to the second person where I swore my oath. Her question was basically ; So how did you end up getting married in Japan? And between answering that and some anecdotes, about my time there, I was handed the 221g slip pending medical (which was scheduled for the afternoon).''

And now a week later, my medical was received and all approved and 8 days later, my passport is on its way to the depot! So they are definitely getting back into the groove of things!

Did you sent I 129f along side your PETTION? Is petitioner US citizen or permanent resident?

We did not send I-129f and the petitioner is a US citizen.

Hi Jamie -- for documents at the NVC, did you get a message from NVC for additional documents/ documents to be re uploaded?
TamMhmd on 2020-07-10 said:

Congratulations on your approval you guys!

Thanks guys! And Tam, sorry I never saw your question! Just in case its still useful or someone else needs the answer: We basically made a mistake with our joint sponsors. We should have added them onto CEAC as household members but we put them down as co-sponsors. Because of this, NVC made us resubmit the same documents (because when they refused they said everything was actually okay) so we resubmitted and had to wait the full 9 or so weeks again! Annoying but we got to the end =)

*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
