Thank you for that! We are ready to move so I think I am going to try and book it! 

Good Idea. Also Today received an email from NVC for interview date. We have an interview on June 11th.

I just found out that you have to register your appointment on this site https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv once you receive an interview date from NVC. Just FYI

Oh well I was in communication with the London office and they said, they don't see her appointment registered here. You can't go in the embassy without registering the appointment on that site. That's how you pick up your passport back or get delivered to your address..

Anyone DQ'd in late April/early May received their IL yet? I know I am being impatient, but just want to move it along. 

 

We were DQ'd on May 2nd.

IL's are only sent out once a month, and for London generally at the end of the month. So you should have made the May cut off for an IL towards the end of the month. 

 

Good luck.

Hi, just wondering if the trend ever changes when they send out IL’s? We were DQ’d on April 24th and have not received our IL yet for our IR1. Just wondering if it is likely that it will be this week or next week or is it going to be the very end of June? Just have not heard anyone mid/end April to get their IL. Thanks for your opinion!

Yes, they do change, it often switches around depending on various factors - including bank holidays, and of course they had two in May and have another in June so that may affect things.  

 

But it's generally always once a month (I think there were a couple of occasions they did two lots of IL's in a month, but very rare), so at some point in the next few weeks anyway. 

 

Good luck.

They can do, whether you'd want to shorten your visa validity h is another matter. I booked mine before I had the IL as we only had one possible week that we could all have had the medical done, and we knew we'd be leaving as soon as we had the visas through anyway.  

My wife just had her interview but the officer asked her to email her our photos together, our combined financials, my traveling history to meet her and our conversation screen shots. I emailed those today. Is that normal or we were just picked randomly for this due diligence?
