congrats too @LMax

Hi everyone, IL just arrived! We are for Jan 12th 2026!!

hey @Dxstat wow!! congratulations for you man! finally!! I'm so jealous of u right now LMAO! Thank God there's movement now in London. Congrats once again.

Hey @Dxstat I could be mistaken, but staying in London would not cause the IL to be delayed, regardless of whether you react. If you want to return to your native country, they advised you to use the public inquiry form. A friend of mine who received his IL last month end (he transferred his case from his home country to another country) received this on Friday, along with instructions on how to verify residency when he arrives for his interview. I've attached what they sent to him here. I hope it helps.

Hello, Everyone. Has anyone received IL for the month of September yet? Eb1 or Eb2 IL? any news will be very refreshing to hear. One of my pals, who shifted his case from Lagos to Bridgetown, received his IL yesterday. He transferred his case before USCIS's new directory. Excellent news for him! @appleblossom is there a timeframe when the London Embassy sends out ILs? Because I know from latest chats from applicants on this forum that they do theirs at the beginning of each month. I might be mistaken there.

@LMax no IL yet. still waiting, now that new visas are available in this new fiscal year, I expect to receive it soon. Guess you are current now with the new release of October VB, so we are all in the same boat.

Hello everyone, I have fantastic news on the IV tool for London from yesterday's release. It has gone back to 2025 and even added a month from February 2025, bringing it back up to March 2025. Phew!! That was a scare. USCIS has stated that visas are no longer available for fiscal year 2025. Given FY 2026 begins in October, I'm hoping they'll start handing out ILs, hope i'm right.

hey @Atlas737 congrats for finishing the process. Wow, that's an unusual question; how did you respond? anyway that was fast, from yesterday interview to AP to issued today. Congrats once again.

Ha! just saw it on the IV scheduling tool and its a disaster! Checked that tool last week for London and it was showing Feb 2025 (previously prior month was showing March 2025), why the massive retrogression of up to 2 years back. Other places had just 1 - 3 months retrogressed. I know a lot of folks here who were DQed in December 2023/Jan 2024 that have gotten their ILs already on this forum in London so this massive retrogression doesn't add up at all. If its how the retrogression will be I think its time some people who can move start moving cases if you can to other faster embassies. This is a sign of embassies like Abu Dhabi & Lagos where you stay for over 2 years if not 3 years after been DQed. This is not encouraging after all the wait.

Hey @LMax have you received IL this week? or has anyone received IL this week so far? I haven't yet.

Good insights and thanks That's good to hear, so there's progress.

Hey @AE5794 I don't think this is a big issue from "my understanding a green slip, means the US Embassy or Consulate needs more information or administrative processing before issuing a visa.When a passport is returned with a green slip, it signifies that the visa application is on hold, not permanently denied. The passport is returned because the consular officer cannot yet issue the visa". so the question I have for you are; what were the standard questions you were asked and for the CV part was it that he expected your CV to be updated or did he ask you for an updated CV? Just like @appleblossom said if your occupation is on the TAL List or you had visited high risk countries might be another issue for them to put you in AP.

I'm also shocked that it moved up to 4 months, I'll definitely keep posting my experience too. Can't believe I'm current!!

Hey @sys187 wow! congratulations, I was just about to ask you this evening about your interview. Good update and congrats!! please when your passport comes back let us also know to know how long it took for the passport to return back to u.

hey @cherryblossom70 did your IL finally come?

Ha! great info @sys187. Thanks a bunch. also keep us updated how the interview went on May 7th. Need to know what the new administration is asking these days. Congrats once again!

hey @sys187 how was the document review yesterday?

Timeline: PD June 23, 2023 (Not yet current on current VB - Just a day to mine), DQed June 2024.

Congrats @alixe just keep us updated as things progress

Hey @cherryblossom70 have u gotten your IL now? If not please let us know anytime you get it this current month.

Hey Congratulations! Wow!! that was fast! please when u go for the Interview let us also know what u were asked. Once again congratulations!

Congratulations for being current after a lengthy wait! When your IL arrives, please let us know so that it can encourage those of us who are still waiting. 😎
