Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 18, 2021 Embassy Review : 11am interview on 18 August 2021 We misplaced my wife's passport photos, and so had to scramble and get new ones from a train station. (Yes, there's photo booths at the embassy, but we didn't want to risk it in case there was some issue using them.) Wife arrived at security just before 11. Not much of a queue but took a while to get in because some people ahead had an issue. Airport-style security. After that, quick to get a number and go upstairs. 25 minute wait to be called up the first time. They asked for civil docs and I-864 (as we were DCF) along with financial documents. She offered proof of domicile but they didn't require it. After 10 minutes called up again for a quick interview. Officer told her she was approved and kept her passport, and wife was on her way out. 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
