Thanks! Just curious how you know which embassies are PIVOT? Since posting, I went back through this forum and saw that someone said they’re a London PIVOT case. 

Oh well it's possible London has made the switch. As other embassies are switching constantly. I've just been using the state.gov website. And, well, what I've heard others say for the rest.

But things change.

I saw some type of document regarding how long time people were waiting for a case number or something and people listed what embassy and if it was pivot or not and I saw London there listed as a non-pivot. Can't find the document anymore but that's where I got it from. Also that list doesn't include all the embassies because mine starts with STK and they've been a pivot country for quite a while. Maybe it just include the bigger embassies?

 Does anyone know if the London Embassy is pivot? We received our case number yesterday and it is assigned to the Abu Dhabi Embassy, which is pivot, even though I have contacted NVC several times to tell them that we have moved to the UK. I am so worried that we've waited all this time for a case number (NVC originally received our petition on Feb 26, 2018) and now we're going to have to wait even longer if the embassy in London is still mail processing. Ready for this journey to be over...it's been 426 days since we submitted our I-130!

Yes, UK is PIVOT now.

Happy for all the CCs here, but it's really discouraging seeing cases that uploaded/submitted later getting a CC earlier. :(  I just asked an NVC operator in what order cases are getting reviewed – no straight answer, of course. He said he didn't know.

The waiting just never !@#$%ing ends. Hope I can rely on the good-will of some CBP officer taking pity on me when attempting to cross the border on Saturday so I can take my mind off this !@#$ for a week.
