Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 20, 2020
Embassy Review : The embassy was pretty empty, with minimal staff working; I guess they are all working from home still.

There were about another 10 people waiting, one of them was a rearranged from March. I saw a K1 person there, not too sure how she managed to get an interview.

Was a fairly straightforward process, a little waiting involved, but not excessive.

They took all my documents from me and passport. They never asked for DS5540.

Annoyingly, they claimed not to have received my medical report, even though Visa Medicals say it was sent on July 8.

Interview part was brief; how did you meet, where, where is my wife now and if I will have medical insurance. That was about the extent of that.

My passport will be sent to me once they open the mail, I guess.

You got approved very fast are you Us citizen or permanent resident?
Jayface on 2019-09-25 said:
My wife is a US citizen. The process time is in line with Texas Service Center. By the looks of your timeline, they’ll probably be looking at your application right now.

Thank you for this encouragement

I understand where you’re at right now. It’s all just waiting, upon waiting, upon waiting. It all seems very unfair to be penalized to marry someone from outside your own country,

Congratulations on getting an interview you guys! Did you apply for an expedite? Have you been able to schedule your medical yet?

Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
I sent an expedite request on June 23. This was after being DQ.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
Got an email back from NVC on June 26, saying request had been forwarded to London and would be considered.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
I had my Visa medical on July 1. I did this without an interview being booked. I was in self quarantining in London for 2 weeks prior and it was a convenient time for me to take it.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
Expedite request was accepted on July 2. NVC said my documents would be sent to London. My status at CEAC remained "ready"
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
**Correction** My status at CEAC remained “at NVC”
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
Status changed to “in transit” on July 8.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
Status at CEAC changed to “Ready” on July 9. London embassy received documents.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
I contacted London Embassy on July10, using the link on their website, saying my Case was expedited from NVC, they had my case, my medical was complete and I need an interview ASAP.
Jayface on 2020-07-11 said:
Embassy replied on July 11, telling me that I could apply for an interview. I had to use their booking system and do it myself. To book interview, you need to make and account and enter some details. They had quite a few slots available in July and August. The earliest was July 20, which I took.

sent you a message, but just thought I'd ask here in case it was easier! thanks for posting such helpful info! for your medical, was yours at 4 Bentick Mansions instead of the regular Knightsbridge? Also, was your fee 350 pounds? there's different price listings online, none of them the same (250, 290, 330) but the medical examiner quoted my husband 350 pounds. Wonder if this is a covid-premium (lol) or just your standard inflation

Did your medical get to the embassy? Has your visa been issued?

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
