Default London waiting times...

Hi all, I'm a US citizen and my British husband is applying for a spouse
visa so we can both move to North Carolina. We filed our I-130 and had
it approved on Dec 1, 2005.
We are still waiting for the next stage, i.e. more forms and the visa
interview. Has anyone recently gone through the same process with the US
Embassy in London? How long did this process take you? We found a
statement saying 3-4 months on the US Embassy website but are not sure
how accurate this is.
Regards Monica :)

Hello Monica,

my wife filed our I-130 about a week before yours, I am going for
interview in a couple of weeks.

Maybe you might contact the Embassy via e-mail that is best, we found
it takes three or four days sometimes to receive a reply from the
e-mail but it is much more accurate and cheaper than contacting the
call centre, who we have found to be no help.

The e-mail address is [email protected]

All the best

William

Hi William,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the email address was removed
for privacy. I'll search the embassy website for it.

Best of luck at the interview!

Take care,
Monica

Hi Monica,

Not sure what you're referring to as "the email address was removed for privacy". I can clearly read the London Consulate email address in William's post.

Hi Rene,
That's quite odd as I still cannot see the email address. I'll have to
try from another computer. Thanks for letting me know.


Hi Ray,
Thanks for the information. We're getting close then! We're really
looking forward to our move and definitely want to be in NC to enjoy the
hot summer.

Hi Monica,

It's londonconsular at state dot gov. Replace "at" and "dot" with the symbols.

Hello Monica,

try clicking on the line after the su part, or in plain English it
reads london consular remove the space between the two, hope this gets
around the system.
