Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : September 16, 2020 Embassy Review : Interview for CR1 Spousal Visa on Thursday 10th September 2020. Incredibly smooth & everyone was very friendly. As many people say, it was much more of a conversation than formal interview (everyone in the London embassy was the friendliest I've ever seen them). It's hard to pin-point specifically what the Consulate Officer asked me because the conversation flowed very nicely between questions. -How did you meet your spouse? -What does your spouse do for work? -What do you do for work? -Where does your spouse work? (CO was familiar with LA but unfamiliar with Century City so we chatted about that & my previous internship experience in LA). My key notes: -In & out of embassy in 30 minutes. As everyone says, it really is the easiest part. -Consulate Officer said passport will be with me in 1 week. -🦠Masks are required in the embassy. The pre-interview officer asked me to sanitise then take off my mask. Actual interview officer didn’t mention mask (and was wearing one himself) so I kept mine on. -Even though I live very close to London, I stayed in the Vauxhall Travelodge the night before. Made me much more relaxed & ensured I didn't have to rush, wake up too early or arrive to the embassy sweaty. I'd certainly recommend to anyone in the UK. Only cost £30 & meant I didn't have to contend with any unforeseen train/tube breakdowns. 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.
