This is just to say,there's some movement with getting IL's out from London embassy. Someone I know who is being sponsored by her US Citizen son(visa category IR-5) who got DQ'd on the 22nd of April got her IL last week Friday. 

We know they’ve sent letters for people DQed 18-22 of April. What many are afraid is that it might be the only letters they send this month which would mean that they are getting massively behind compared to before.

That is annoying! So you are the day before us! And you are IR1/CR1 category?

Indeed. Approaching 7 years of long distance!

@BernieDuck Thanks for the extra info! Sorry about them turning down your ACRO police report. Very strange. 

ACRO was fine. It was the Swiss police report I also needed they refused at first, I assume because the tile in one of the several languages of it was slightly different than what was on the NVC website. Never mind that every other language was the same and the issuing authority was correct. They subcontract those checks, so I wasn’t surprised to see some level of incompetency.

Forgot to mention.. Its definitely one time per month. It states that on the nvc website. It says NVC works with the embassy one time per month in getting dates for immigrant visa appointments. So I for sure missed June cut off with my April 24th DQ date.

While they schedule the appointments in one day, they might send the emails over a longer timeframe. I remember reading a message in here about someone who got their IL one or two days after someone else. I was DQed on April 23rd, so I understand the frustration. Extra frustrating due to the fact I should have been DQed earlier (they mistakenly refused at first a police report). 

The truth is that we have no idea how they do things. It’s very possible they will send more IL this month. It’s possible last month they sent less for whichever reason. Some people said that letters are always sent the first or last week of the month, but that’s obviously not true so I wouldn’t spend too much energy trying to guess when the letter will come because it’s impossible. However, we know it’s soon.

I did see a recent news article about how the U.S. embassy in London is refusing to pay a £14 million congestion fee to the city of London. Could things have been slowed down because of this? 

I’m pretty sure the congestion fee issue has absolutely no impact on the embassy usual proceedings.

Any news from anyone?

I was DQed on April 24, expecting an interview letter soon.
