Called for Biometrics twice because the fingerprints didn't get processed properly the first time (received a letter about 2 weeks after the first biometrics, and was given an appointment about 10days after that).
Case was transferred to CSC and I received a letter mid-February informing me this was the case. No interview was required. My card just arrived in the mail mid-March. |

| Embassy Review : |
9am interview. Queue took about 20 minutes to get inside the building.
Don't forget to make sure you don't bring electronic items or phones with you as you will NOT be be able to enter with them.
I waited for 1 hour before I was called up. Was asked for my interview letter, 2 photos, my fingerprints taken, and then the documents from the checklist (police certificates etc). I was also given my chest x-ray from my medical to take to the US.
Sat down again and waited another 1.5 hours until I was called again for the final step. Was asked to sign a form and write my fiancé's name in the space. Then asked a few questions about how we met, when we got engaged, where he lives...
Then...APPROVED!
Pretty simple & straightforward. Very friendly staff at each stage.
A LOT of waiting so bring a book!
They DO accept credit card for the payment of the visa, as well as GBP and USD cash, but not personal cheques or debit cards. |

*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
