Paris embassy Eb immigration visa timelines

[NYCHello 4]

Do we know who recently got an interview scheduled in Paris and when they were DQed? I hope the backlog is not more than one year. This is crazy.

On https://ceac.state.gov/iv is says my case is currently (still) at the NVC.

I am a UK resident, so I am considering asking to switch to the UK Embassy. @appleblossom , do you know how long the wait times are in London? I heard it was 11 months (from the date you were DQ'ed), but I also read it was super quick, so I'm not sure if it is worth it.  If I switch to London, does anyone know if I need to have my medical appointment in London (versus in Paris)? Thank you

As a quick update, I have transferred my case to London, and the transfer should be approved within 1-2 weeks. I am currently discussing with my employer whether it would be beneficial to apply for a nonimmigrant visa as a backup plan (O1 visa, I cannot do an L1). My wife is having similar discussions with her employer (L1 visa). I am hoping the US Embassy in London will contact me soon to schedule an interview, but I am not sure how or when they will plan their next batch of interviews.

please keep us update,  I am wondering too if I should change  embassy,  if your spoose get L1 you can follow her and have working permit, untill you get your interviwe, I believe you might be able to change to  USCI interview in the Usa if you have a visa

Greetings to everyone here. I am delighted to find this resourceful thread.

PD: April 5, 2023.

DQ: July 6, 2023.

 

Please, I wish to ask if anyone has information about how quick they're currently at the Paris embassy in EB-2 processing and IV issuance. I am considering a case transfer from my country of origin given the very long waiting time there.

 

I currently reside in France with my residence permit. Alternatively, please I also wish to ask if it's possible to move the case to Berlin, while residing in France.

 

I would really appreciate your kind responses. Many thanks.

Yes, you can transfer to your country of origin. I think you only need to contact NVC (via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html ) to ask about the transfer.

Hi everyone! I'm glad I found this forum. It's so difficult to find any information about the waiting times for IL in Paris.

 

I'm also waiting for my IL in Paris, as I live in Portugal. My case is EB-2 NIW, my PD is 15/mar/23 and I'm DQ'ed since sep/23.

As my PD is march/2023, I'm not current at this time, but hopefully I'll be soon.

 

Has anyone that posted previously here gotten their IL? Could you provide us the timeline? @isimoes @zaboo26 @Cool-ant_622 @Elizaamato

 

Does someone know if the DQ date is what guides the interviews schedules? Or when I get current, I'll be in the end of the line regardless of my DQ date?

 

Thank you all!

The DQ is what guides the interview appointment, but your PD needs to be Current also. At the moment, DQ of Oct/23 are receiving the interview appointment, from what I saw in other groups. In General, all the Consulates follow an unique DQ line, but I heard there are some specific Consulates with a huge delay, like Canada for instance.

We attended the interview in Paris on Nov 13. Our PD was from 2019 (we changed from Adjustment of Status to Consular Processing and it took forever to process this change) and our DQ was Nov 2, 2023. We received the interview appointment approximately 45 days before the interview date. Hope this helps everyone to have an idea of where the line stands at this moment.

In Sep/24, NVC was sending ILs to DQs from Oct/23, so I would say it should take around 4 to 6 months more.

Thank you so much! So when the VB gets to my PD, I should receive the interview letter soon. Let's hope the VB advances in January!
