Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 27, 2015 Embassy Review : The review from 'shipping foecast' below was very helpful. My interview was also changed from morning to 1pm. I walked past at 11.30am and had a panic when I saw a queue of about 20 people! But I couldn't face the process without caffeine so wolfed down a sandwich & tea at Starbucks on North Audley Street and went back; queue gone! Maybe non-immigrant visas? Somehow, I ended up being number 11 in the queue.Total about 20 people. Waited about an hour for the first interview. They didn't want any of the paperwork they requested in the checkist - just had me cross something out and tick a different box. Noone asked for the DS260 despite the screen telling us to get that ready. Nor copies of civil docs or tax returns etc. (probably best to take them anyway though) Waited about another 30 - 40 minutes for the second interview. I was asked - where is your husband now? - what do you both do for a living? - how long have you been married? - do you have any children? - why do you want to live in the US? And that was about it. Lots of fingerprint scanning at both interviews. 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.
