Its either keep on trying or chuck it. Maybe the Judge can bring some movement 😂

Your case is going to move on it’s own when the time is right. Why would you chuck it at this point? A pandemic has inconvenienced all of us in some way.

Congratulations! Very pleased for you and your husband. To check for other available dates you just click “Change interview date” - that doesn’t commit you to giving up your slot until you confirm the change. 

 

You may want to check how old your husband’s GP summary is. When I spoke with Visamedicals on the phone they stated that it shouldn’t be any older than a month. 

Sorted!! He phoned the surgery and explained the urgent nature of the request and they agreed to print it right then and he could pick up straight away.  Whew.  Thanks for flagging that up @os306.  Nobody said anything about the date of issue of the summary, but it does make sense.  They only asked if he had it and a police certificate when he booked the medical!

No problem at all! Also, if your husband has any active medical conditions he'll need a brief report from his GP explaining the nature of the condition, any treatments received etc.

I JUST GOT OUR LND!!!!!!!

 

A man phoned my husband's mobile from the embassy, but asked to speak to me and said that they had expedited our application and was calling to confirm that my husband had received the email with the case number.  He was very kind and helpful and pleasant, although he sounded tired.  

 

There were appointment dates Tuesday and Thursday this week and next week and one on 1 October, but nothing else.  I booked his interview for 1 October and we've scheduled the medical for this Monday.  I haven't figured out how to go back and check for another interview date yet as he could take one earlier in the w/c 28th September if any become available but will look into it.  

 

After work we will be powering through the DS-260 and double check we have all the docs we need for the interview.

 

Just for info, this is the text of the email:

 

To whom it may concern,

 

We would like to inform you that we have received your request and the case has been expedited. Please follow guidelines included in the Packet 3 Letter included.

 

Best,

Congrats! And best of luck with everything. I had my interview earlier this week, went great and got approved. Hopefully flying out late next week if I get my passport back.  

 

Putting out positive vibes for those who have yet to receive their LNDs, keep at it and we will probably see more (as others have pointed out) now with the end of the student travel period.

Think thats at least 4 still waiting with USCIS Approval 10+ weeks ago.

At this point, is it even worth the emails to them? Nothing seems to work it seems.

I understand where you are. I stopped sending earlier this week. Like you I felt it was pointless. Dont think there are many, if any, other avenues to go done.
