When I initiated the mission I had a romance scene with both Ashley and Liara, then the screen goes black. If I moved around I could hear movement in the game but couldn't see anything. I fixed this in my game by loading a prior save, then performing a quick save just before starting the mission again. I then closed the game and edited my save file with "Gibbed's Mass Effect 3 Save Editor"

Under Plot-->Mass Effect 3-->Romance I unchecked Ashley and Liara (everyone but Tali) saved over my quicksave then loaded the game.
After re initiating the mission I had a romance scene with Tali then progressed to the war room (Where I was previously getting the black screen).
This may require some testing. I chose Tali since I started the romance sequence with her by choosing her over the Geth and getting the gift photo of her for the Captains Quarters.
I just figured I'd update this thread with a solution found in 2018 as I'm sure others will continue playing this.
EA Staff (Retired)Thanks for the update @o0KJL0o 🙂
I'm definitely one of those people, who come back to ME3 from time to time, just because they like this game some much. I didn't encounter mentioned bug with infinite loading screen myself, but I think other players might find your fix quite useful.
Again, thanks for sharing!

I can confirm that mucking with the romance selectors with a save file editor is the cause of this bug. I encountered the same issue, and I had to disable having multiple romances selected.
Earlier in the game, it did make things interesting, especially the post-party sequence where it had Liara and Jack with overlapping character displays as well as overlapping dialogue.
But it definitely hangs the start of the Cerberus HQ mission.
