Normal time from DQ to interview date for spouse in London

[sanjaybb 0]

Hi,

 

I realise now because of the proclamation there are no interviews being done for spouses of LPRs.  I was recently DQ'd. Does anyone have a rough idea of how long it takes for the interview to be booked for London interviews under normal circumstances??

2 months or so

Since COVID, it's taking about 5 months from DQ to interview date. They appear to be allocating appointments in batches during the first week of each month. Obviously things could speed up or slow down at any time due to restrictions. Interviews are going ahead though right now, at least.

Hi Thanks for this. Are interviews also still going ahead for applications of spouses for legal permanent residents (not citizens)?  there is currently a proclamation in place that has paused on green cards for LPR spouses until next year.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't read the LPR bit. I'm not sure about that, but if it's in the proclamation then it might be the same as K1 visas which are all on hold

Hi Thanks for that. Sorry my original post was in a different area (for LPRs) but got moved : )  I know that the LPR spouse visas are on hold like the K1s.  My question is, when they are no on hold (when they go back to being processed) how long does it normally take for the london embassy to organise an interview.  Just a ball park of if it will be 6months from when the proclamation runs out or longer etc.
