Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I arrived at the embassy way too early (two hours, but figured I'd get a coffee and go over my paperwork), when I got there the queue was none existent with only oner family in front of me, I explained I was too early to the official but they asked for my details anyway and said I could go through security and wait inside or get a coffee and come back later. I went straight inside and through security without issues, then at the next desk again explained I was early and she didn't mind and give me my number and directions to the interview area.

The first interview was simply taking copies of my paperwork and didn't take long at all with only two people ahead of me in the queue, I had to wait around 40 minutes for the second interview , I was asked how we met and then how many times had we met since we were married, as soon as I mentioned that my wife and I lived together for nearly two years he seemed to be happy with the situation (and instantly seemed to be satisfied),... read complete review

Hnnnnmmm! It was quite an adventurous long and fearful journey.
I arrived the consulate quite early for my interview before 7am as my interview was scheduled for 8:30am.
Long line as usual people waiting to be signed in so i joined the line. one of the officials came by asking people to put their docs together properly so i asked if mine was ok. Seeing my doc, she asked me to come forwards then signed on it and told me to bypass the queue straight to the entrance, being that my appointment was a priority whom they were already waiting for inside.
I got in, was checked and directed to the interview area which was different from others. Quite few persons around there, then i was called by the first guy who took my biometrics and asked for my docs which i gave. Some of my docs were photocopy e.g. my divorce letters both mine and my fiancé, police certificates from everywhere you have lived in the last 5years, my birth certificate, affidavit of support for me and m... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Checked into the travelodge vauxhall the day before and I checked out the place at night to see the best possible route. It's a 10ish minute walk and I recommend doing this and finding the best possible routes as google maps can take longer.

I had my appointment at 10.30 am and I left the travelodge at 9.30 am. Good thing is that you can store your bag there.

I did not want to take a chance and packed for taking the bag inside security. But it was not needed.

I reached at approximately 9.45 am and I saw a huge crowd of people waiting outside the embassy. It's important that you join a smaller queue which is for check in services. Here they check you ds260 and "check you in". When i reached the front of this smaller queue it was already 10 am. (You can enter the security only half and hour before your appoitment time)
The guy then told me to join the big queue, to which I was surprised and asked him if I really needed to as I had an... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Stayed at Travelodge Vauxhall and scoped out the embassy the day before my appointment. The embassy is a very short walk from this hotel, about ten minutes if that, and is easy to get to. There's also plenty of restaurants (Vauxhall Market Place) and little grocery shops such as Sainsbury's and Waitrose dotted right outside of the hotel, along with a train stop and bus depot, so I would highly recommend staying here. Just keep your expectations modest with the hotel and it will be a comfortable stay as it is by no means 5 stars, but does the job. There was a very long line outside the embassy on my investigation the day before which made me decide to arrive extra early on the day of my appointment.

I left an hour and a half early to wait in line on the day and it took me 40 minutes to get to the front. There were only two people who stood at a small podium to take people's documents. They asked for my appointment confirmation letter and passport, then after checking me o... read complete review
