US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi,

I arrived in America 2 weeks ago today - wondering how long does it take to get the green card in the post?

Thank you,

Hey all, wondering if anyone has experience with what the typical timelines are for K1 visa 'readiness' when you do your medical after your interview? Was told at the interview it was all good and 'approved' pending my medical coming in ok.

We had some very rapid timelines and as such the medical had to be done the day after the visa interview. Can see that the medical results were received at the London Embassy today (as there was an update on the CEAC tracker today, which from what I've read means they got the papers from the Visa Medical doctors).

Does anyone know how many days typically, at the London Embassy, it takes for them to then proceed with issuing the visa once they have the visa medical results? Not including couriering etc.

Trying to gauge when I can get very excited and make preparations for relocating. Apologies for the rambling, excitement and nerves all rolled into one.

Hi, sorry for not starting a new thread but seeing as most In here are from the UK, can I ask what the process is for travel declaration when travelling to the US after obtaining your visa?

Hi I am an American! I left Los Angeles April 14 arrived to london April 15,2021 and saw on my email from USCIS that my I-130 petition for my wife who s british got approved.

We have a baby on the way in a few days since we will register on the US EMBASSY (LONDON) for baby born abroad and we payed the NVC for my wife s D-260 while I m in UK we were wondering if we can schedule that at the same day we try to register the birth of our baby (British-American) while we re in the US EMBASSY (London)

Thank you

I (USC) just filed an I-130 petition for my spouse at the US Embassy in London yesterday in a case with exceptional circumstances. For anyone curious, here s the process I ve done so far.

- filled out contact form on embassy website explaining our circumstances

- received email next day saying they had given me an appointment to file with a checklist of documents needed and instructions

- went to embassy, cleared security, got a ticket, got called up to window to submit documents, then paid the fee, and theb got called up to window to review the case and fix any errors in filling out the forms (luckily there were none)

- officer said filing was ok and we would be contacted via email within weeks about next steps (he said he couldn t be more specific about time)

For those who have been through a similar process, I have a few questions.

1. The officer said they would contact USCIS to approve the I-130. I know this was the case when USCIS had a field office in London, but I thought that this was closed last year so the State Department adjudicates I-130s filed locally under exceptional circumstances. Was he just mistaken or was he likely referring to forwarding our case to a USCIS facility stateside because the State Dept can only adjudicate cases that are clearly approvable and he thought ours wasn t?

2. Form G-1145 for eNotification of Petition Acceptance was an optional document on the checklist. The form says it s only for filing at a USCIS lockbox, but we prepared it anyway. At the embassy, they did not want the form even though we had it. Will this mean all correspondence from now on is via physical mail? I was told we would be updated on our case by email.

Any experience or wisdom anyone could share would be much appreciated.
