    I'm still not sure where this 'haven't gone past mid 2024' has come from, this forum is only a tiny sample of EB applicants. I think the date given on the USCIS tool seems pretty accurate. Again, looking at the stats from May 2025 just as an example, London issued 107 EB-2/3 visas in that month, so those people must have had IL's at some point in 2025. But don't forget that for some of that time there were no visas available for EB2 (when there were for EB1). And there's always far more EB2 and EB3 applicants than EB1. So there will be a bit of a backlog to get through because they paused those applications so are now on catch up. I also think that unfortunately the Trump policies are slowing things down now, and immediate relatives will always get priority so if they're slower that has a knock on effect on the rest of us. Fingers crossed you don't have to wait too much longer, good luck.

    See the link I gave you above, it's literally a step by step guide to the process. A lawyer isn't usually required, but start with the link, download the I-130 form and see how you feel about it. Good luck.

    Funnily enough, I don’t go back and read the last six weeks worth of posts before I respond to something! I’ve got no idea what he said on the 2nd of November when I’m simply replying to a post made yesterday. And, I would point out, just trying to help. I’m on various EB-1A groups on WhatsApp and Facebook, some of them have had interview letters. You can also check the official stats if you don't believe anybody has had an IL past July 2024, for example May 2025's report which shows that 13 EB1 visas were issued by London that month. We have no way of knowing exactly when their IL's were issued, but it would have been well after July 2024 for interviews nearly a year later. Were you born in the UK? Have you transferred your case from anywhere else?

    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.
  18. appleblossom
    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.
  23.    appleblossom reacted to a post in a topic: Is "USCIS sent to NVC date" same as "NVC Receive Date"
  24. 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.
  27. 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

    Which country? Please fill in your timeline/profile, thanks.
