I went back to check the thread in December 2022, they issued IL on 9th and on the 19th. Dates were between 24th Jan to 28th Jan. that’s when they went for their interview. 
Definitely, IL will come out by Saturday morning. Let’s keep calm. 

That's good info, thank you!!

No word for me. Unsure if it’s late or they are just going to merge Nov and Dec together before the holiday break. 

Someone who had to reschedule theirs was able to do so recently for Jan 8 so there are interviews happening…. Maybe just rescheduled ones

Another week and no ILs? 😑

Probably a delay by thanksgiving, hopefully this coming week. At least we’re all saying the same thing so hopefully it’s just procedure rather than one person being missed. I did have a look at 03.15 when the DQ mail came in before but nope. We’re on IR5 so i assume it’s on the same basis for dates as spousal as there’s no cap.

Hello! Found this forum as my spouse was DQ'd on November 9th and was looking for more information about how long this last part of the wait will be, it's already been such a long process. Hopefully I am in the right place. Can someone tell me what IL means? Is it interview letter?

That’s correct. We were DQ’d Nov 1 and have not received our IL either. This forum has been speculating on delays due to the recent and upcoming holidays. Really hoping to hear this week.

I’m really not sure why it’s taking so long - confusing because last year people who were DQ’d Nov 16 got a letter Nov 30 for Jan 10 interview. Trying not to stress but I’m honestly losing sleep with this wait 😅😅😅

DQed October 26th, received IL email today for an interview on Jan 3. Hope you all receive your respective ILs soon too.

[bc123 3]

IL received this morning for 12th Jan. DQ on 10th Nov 

[Raventor 2]

Our date for IL came in this morning 19th January. DQ 9th November. 

[rubym2020 24]

Finally! DQ'd October 27th, interview for January 12th. Quite a quick turnaround from IL to the actual interview. Can finally start making plans properly!

[Rainbow Aligator 29]

Finally yay! I can sleep normally again! 
 

DQd Nov 16, interview Jan 19

Are there any ILs for DQ December yet ?

VisaMedicals said the medical needs to be ideally 10 days before the appointment, 5 days for them to send it over, and 5 for the embassy to process it. Does this sound right? I thought a week before would be enough. Only asking because I have to book my flights in and out of the UK as im not there right now

I'm in the same boat. I'm visiting my wife at present and don't return to the UK until 31st, my interview date is 8th Jan. I went ahead and booked my medical for 2nd and was told the worst case scenario is that it won't be granted that day.
