OK and you are a London applicant? I assume so from where you've posted but just checking. If you could fill in your timeline it would be super helpful. 

I am, yes. Currently I'm travelling, but I will work out the full timetable when I return.

 

We have contacted a congressman, and the NVC is sending the same copy and paste emails back to them too! Although, the NVC openly admitted in an email that they are processing DQ cases from June now - so we were definitely skipped (as DQd April). Hopefully that gives the congressman enough evidence to push back. @PACMAN82 maybe it's worth you trying to contact someone from a legal side if this is the case for you too?

Hi everyone, I am an EB1A applicant from Ankara. My DQ is 08/2023. I have been current from very first day. And I have learned yesterday that an other EB1A applicant got an IL with DQ 03/2024 from Ankara. I am a afraid of being skipped. I have also sent an inquiry to NVC but most probably I will get a copy paced response. As far as I read so far, there is nothing to do write? Just are we going to wait?

Hi @Ceycey, do you have anyone who can pursue the IL from another position? To put more pressure on the NVC. We've reached out to my wife's congressman, but will also look to go down the legal route (writ of mandamus) if that doesn't work. 

 

 

Like us, you might need them to look at your case more closely, but they refuse to when they think it's just a general enquiry about timelines

If you ask someone to do something I would expect them to do that.

 

You can ask for an expedite, you can ask for status, I have no idea what look at you case more closely means.

Judging from my current situation, I don't believe the NVC are doing what is asked. 

 

When I email them, I received the same template responses, even when I ask for a response that isn't a template. I'm not sure that the NVC are looking at our case at all, only responding to the queries.

I think you are misunderstanding how the process works.

I don't believe so. The representative we asked to contact the NVC received an email that differed from what we were told by the NVC. This is despite the representative asking the exact same questions as us. 

 

I'm not sure the NVC always look at the facts of a case before responding (e.g., only respond to the subject matter [delay, etc]). The responses often appear auto-generated too.

I am sure they have standardised procedures, perhaps they differ slightly when responding to a Congressional enquiry.
