Employment visa backlog

[cbsuk 3]

Is anyone else on here waiting for an immigrant employment visa interview? It feels like whilst the monthly statistics show some progress in June and July, they are still a long way behind.

 

I was DQ in November last year and not heard a thing yet. I therefore presume London are somewhere between March and October 2020 for employment visas. They are way behind compared to family visas. If anyone else is waiting and has a progress update I'm sure it will help us all out with getting an idea of when our interviews might be!

it would be helpful if you would fill out your profile with your visa type, country,  embassy, and make a timeline. You’re right that because of the pause in employment and fiancé visas last year, those are lagging behind spouse visas.

I have filled out the timeline but no field appears for complete at NVC for some reason.

Hi guys,

Created an account to let you guys know that I am in the same boat but FINALLY I got the interview appointment email today for 12-Nov

My category is EB-2 but my DQ date is 31-Jan-2020 (yes LAST year!).

Although YMMV because I had a complication as NVC originally set my embassy to BMB - Mumbai which I had to work very hard to change to London.

That change was approved exactly a month ago 13-Sep and I got interview email today.
