Hi everyone!

I know that I have not posted very much here but I need some advice. We mailed off the DS-230 part 1 and the DS-2001 on the 7th and We have not heard anything from the embassy in London.

Here is my timeline:
April 2006 I-130 approved
Sat on the DS-230 DS-2001 until the 7th of this month.
Now we are waiting .

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

Sorry I can't answer your question...but, would you mind telling me what the DS-230 and DS-2001 are?

Thanks.

Mrs. M,
I'm not sure whether there's a time limit on submitting the DS-230. I'm fairly certain that there's a time limit within which it must be submitted upon I-130 approval, since I-130 approval doesn't last indefinitely. Am I correct in understanding that it's been almost a year since you received approval? If so, you might want to call or email the embassy to double-check that it's still valid.

Best of luck to you!
Mary

Mrs M,

I have just pulled this quote off the London Embassy Website


What do I do first?
The biographic data form DS-23O-I should be completed for each person applying for a visa, regardless of age. The form may be photocopied if insufficient copies are received for each family member. The DS-230-I should be completed and returned immediately to the Immigrant Visa Unit at the Embassy in order for them to begin the administrative processing of the application. Failure to return the DS-230-I promptly will delay the processing of the application.


Don't know if there is a time limit of say a year, but would be best to contact them and see what they say

It took about 10 days from us sending in our checklist with the signed DS 2001 to receiving our letter with the interview date. But, the embassy might be busier now than it was at the beginning of January. You could try contacting them to find out.

...............good news....GOT THE INTERVIEW LETTER..........4 April........

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Great News!!!
