Hello, hope this isnt too late for you to use..
Application type: Spouse visa
Place: New York Consulate
Dates: 10/6/10 email confirming receipt - 6/7/10 email confirming visa issued
The process was fine from submission to receipt of the visa, very smooth; the only thing was we were caught up in the short period that summer where priority processing via post was stopped. I believe another version of it started up again on the 16 of June which really frustrated us at the time!
