    Our attorney who also specialised in EB cases at London told us to expect a 6 month wait for an interview, I told them them I reckoned the week I'd be expecting an IL (several months earlier than their estimate) and was spot on. They were gobsmacked. 😂 Attorneys should only have one or two cases on the go at a time, and most will be EB2/3's, so I wouldn't take their experience as gospel. I've seen plenty of EB1 applicants that were DQ'ed since July 2024 get their IL's in various groups. I don't think there are any other EB1 applicants on here currently waiting for an IL though, you may be the only one as most are EB-2's. I just looked up timelines, he didn't say on there he'd been expedited. But as above, there are definitely EB1 applicants who've had IL's that were DQ'ed long after July 2024.

    Which applicants? If they're EB-2 then the DQ date is pretty much irrelevant, as they won't have been current until recently. But here's an EB1 applicant via London that's only applied this year and has an interview in 3 days - https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=448706

    I'm sorry to hear this, I agree with @Rhema1 and unfortunately being from such a high fraud country will have had an impact on your case. It's not clear though, was your lawyer able to join via phone?

    I think it's meant to be disrespectful, it's used by the younger generation in a disparaging way when something is stereotypically American or there is something about the country they don't like. I just say US or America.

    As @OldUser said, you just need to put the new address on the DS-160.
  11.    appleblossom reacted to a post in a topic: Is "USCIS sent to NVC date" same as "NVC Receive Date"
  12. appleblossom
    As above, they both have the same wait for an interview at the moment. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html Transferring may add a bit of a delay, but I guess it depends on if you're happy with the extra cost to get to London and happy to spend at least a month there? Your call really.

    Yes, you could add that in, put that the exact date isn't known for now, but then I'd still do the FOIA so you can correct it at the NVC stage. 15-20 years isn't likely to be realistic, add a decade or so to that. Good luck.
  15. appleblossom
    If it says February 2025 then why do you think they're only scheduling for those DQ'ed up to July 2024? Please fill in your timeline.

    Profile is still helpful as it gives us the country etc. For Czech Republic it’s not specific so I think I’d file with both the original and amended. It’ll probably generate an RFE but at least then you can get it underway. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Czechia.html
  17. appleblossom
    Which country? Please fill in your timeline/profile, thanks.

    Scroll up - seems you’ve missed @JeanneAdil’s post.

    As a UK citizen you can choose to remain at London. But are you wanting to interview there for other reasons? it won’t be quicker unless things change between now and then, both London and Sydney currently have a ~3 month wait for an IL after being DQ’ed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/iv-wait-times.html Yes, your wife can go to the US at any time. No need to change the address, you’ll just put the new address on the DS-260, you’ll also be asked to confirm it at interview and were you arrive in the US too. Bear in mind some people submit their I-130’s decades before they get a visa, so address changes between those two states are very common. Good luck.

  21. appleblossom
    There’s no such form, do you mean the EAD? Is this your case? Because your timeline says you sent the I-130 in 2021, is that right? Were you doing consular processing originally? What does your online status say for each? Are you from Haiti and if so how/when did you enter the US?
  22. appleblossom
    He can either wait for FOIA and have the dates match, or file now and have them not match. He’s got ~25-30 years before he’ll need to worry about actually applying for a visa so plenty of time to sort it before then and explain any mistake on the I-130.

    He can do a FOIA request to get his immigration file and see what date he put. He’ll need to provide the following - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Pakistan.html
