Fair point, thank you

With the Certificate taking a minimum 30 days, I am assuming it is needed at NVC stage, will this not delay us a further month?

Hi Guys, Applying for spousal green card, London consulate. Submitted our I30Jan 2023 expecting it to be looked at in around 3 months time. We want to have everything ready to go at NVC stage. Is now a good time to apply for my police cert? I have read it has a 12 month validity, but then also read somewhere about it cannot be older than 6 months for your interview. Also we are due to move into temporary accommodation in 2 weeks as we have sold our house. So the address on the form will not be our current address once we get to interview stage. Any advice appreciated

That was a post previously just referring to the fact I have had a green card before which was direct, but this one is not. I am having to go to the NVC. This is my second green card

Sorry I don't understand, our application is not direct with embassy

Help, please! I know there is not going to be a definitive answer given here as it is impossible, however has anyone had any recent feedback to suggest USCIS estimated times are accurate? Long story, but our NOA1 date is January 2023 so you would think our I30 application (Spouse of American citizen)is a few months off yet, however our USCIS time says 2 weeks and has stayed stable for a few months now. The only reason I am really trying to find out, is we have a house sale pending and our onward move really relies on it. In the next week or so we need to make some big decisions with regards to housing so any feedback or in general advice would be great! Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have done all this before for my first green card however it was direct with London consulate so very different! I am preparing for NVC stage which is all new to me, here in the U.K. the police certificate (like everything) seems to have delays. So I want to get onto this and get it ordered in readiness, however I appreciate it is only valid for a year. My questions: Does the police cert get sent to NVC or just presented at interview? Being valid for a year is that from date of issue to your interview date? I am trying to best understand when best to order it, without it delaying us being able to submit to NVC. Thank you

Exact same as me ,not getting excited expecting it to change!

That is strange. Obviously has been some changes to the times, but I can’t understand how it would change so much for people differently

Hi Guys, I30 waiting with USCIS, my estimated processing time overnight has dropped from 9 months to 2 months... With Nebraska service center. Anyone else had this? Although this is good news, we have a house sale and other things that were being based on 9 months until USCIS decision. But we will roll with it.

Hi, My wife has already submitted our I30 to USCIS for approval online and we are with the Nebraska Service center. We have about 10 months(ish) left on the process. On the London embassy website there is an area where you can request direct filing. There is a section where you can put current USCIS filing receipt number. If I try direct filing and get denied will that impact my filing with the USCIS? The fact you have the option to put your current USCIS receipt number makes me think we wont. Back story on why we want to file and have potential reason too. I previously have been issued a green card from the London Embassy in 2018 and correctly surrendered when we moved back to the UK in 2021, regretted it and we are now moving back (long story, but a mistake we will not make again) anyway, whilst I was in the USA I obtained my NMLS license (Mortgage broker license) if that is not used by Feb 2024 I loose it. Do you think this might constitute exceptional circumstances, as it will effect my employment opportunities? The reality is I know I can re do it, but the exam is really tough and I really do not want too. Appreciate any thoughts.

Over the weekend our estimate I30 approval went from 7 months, to 11 months! Nebraska service center. Has anyone else experienced their estimation going up in recent days?
