TFL are striking at it will affect 15th and morning of 16th. All the main rail companies are striking 16th, morning of 17th, 18th, and morning of 19th.
-
Yeah at least we should know by this time next week. I guess the Embassy are still waiting to see if it's called off or not. If there's alternative availability for later this month, that's not too bad. I'd be annoyed if we had to wait until May/June
-
Did the Embassy explicitly state that appointment was cancelled due to the strikes? Just wondering if this could just be due to coincidence?
-
I would suspect if they are going to cancel appointments, they would have done so already. Plus it's a Governmental organisation, they'll pay for and expense private town-cars/taxis/hotels if they have to!
-
I'd be affected by this too, and my interview is first thing on the 15th. Looking back at previous strike days, it looks like others were OK on those days. I can't find anyone who had their interview cancelled on a strike day. I'm just planning on being there for several hours if Embassy staff are late getting in. I suspect that as this isn't the first time this has happened in London, the Embassy will have plans in place.

Make sense, thanks all
-
But how does this work with the I-94, which CBP handles? If you get a CR-1 stamp incorrectly, you will fall out of status on CBPs end after 2 years. Won't this cause issues if you have to leave and re-enter the US, even if you have a (correct) 10-year greencard? Presumably also, your I-94 "status" will be CR/1, so do you have to file for RoC after 2 years?
-
Really useful, thanks. Wonder if her delay in Secondary was related to it being the last day? Just for stopover planning!
-
I think it's unlikely for us and our circumstances, but I'll never say never. Also our US Embassy historically doesn't have the AP black-hole like some do. A delay of up to 5 months however won't be a problem; the average is 1 week here I have read on VJ Thanks, but I'm confused why timezones make a difference? Please could you elaborate? We got married on the 19th July (it was the 19th July in the US too) and are planning to leave our country on the 20th July (+ 2 years) and enter the US on the evening of 20th July. That's clearly a day after?
-
Good to know, thanks!
-
Yes, it will be 2 years + 1 day. I just wondered with it being so close to the visa expiry date whether this would cause me issues. Thank you
-
I have my CR1 visa interview next month. Planning ahead, I am thinking about entering the US just two weeks before the CR1 visa expires so it would convert to an IR1 (ie entering 5 months, 2 weeks after my medical, so in August) . Has anyone had similar experiences please? Did you encounter any problems at the PoE? Would you recommend this? Thanks
-
Now worked for me this morning.
-
I'm fairly certain USCIS does during AoS, so would suspect the DoS do too; the processing times are always longer for LPR petitioners
-
Yes citizen IR usually always takes priority and have much more privileges under the INA US law
-
Smart casual, but no Americana! Apparently they aren't too pleased when applicants wear it haha!
-
It comes from the NVC. Normally they do send out IL letters all at once at the same time; have you checked your spam folders etc? They sometimes do 2 batches of IL a month. I too had my medical yesterday morning!
-
Were you both able to register your appointment please? My case number shows up as "not ready to be scheduled". Thanks
-
It finally arrived! Check your emails all! DQ: 9th Jan IL: 7th Feb Interview date: 14th March
-
Usually people get their IL emails first thing at like 6am UK time, so I don’t think we will hear anything this week. Perhaps the end of next week, as that will then have been nearly 4 weeks since the last set of letters were sent out
-
You can find a good template here: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/your-right-to-get-copies-of-your-data/preparing-and-submitting-your-subject-access-request/ They have to reply and provide your requested info in max one month, but if you are formal, they may get to it quicker. Lets be honest, all they have to do is open our notes and click print, so there is no need for them to request for a time extension! I'd also provide a scan of your ID such as your driving license with the letter so they can start on it the day they recieve it.
-
I had a similar nightmare, I threatened legal action against my GP in the end. If you make the request to your GP as a formal Subject Access Request, they have to provide it to you in a certain time frame. Just asking for it as normal means they can take their sweet time. I wouldn't recommend this though if you need letters from your Doctor, I don't have long or complex medical history so my summary report is like 2 pages
-
Me too. The latest interview dates for those who got IL on 12-Jan was 9th Feb, so I hope we get more than 1-2 weeks notice for our interview date.
-
Or not! Guess I was wrong!
-
No, you need the standard US size which is not the same as the UK size. See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos/photo-composition-template.html
