Issue deferred, now I need to contact.

Good Morning all,

Way back in November I went to the Embassy in London for my VISA interview. Everything was fine, however, the officer asked if I would like to defer issuance of the VISA until after my 2nd anniversary so he could issue an IR-1 rather than a CR-1. I accepted and he told me that he would issue it as soon as my anniversary passed. Foolishly, I didn't ask the officer for a proper contact number or address.

Anyways, that date has now passed and i've heard nothing. I'm worried that its sat in a pile somewhere, forgotten about - i'd just like some reassurance that its getting done or going to get done sometime soon. I've called the extortion line who had nothing useful to say but gave me an email address to contact. I've emailed this adress and another address and had no reply.

Can anyone suggest anything please?

The officer's suggestion was odd, because it is the POE date that matters- as long as you'd been married two years at POE, you would have gotten the 10 year greencard.

When was your anniversary? Remember that even if they print it the next day, it may sit a few days in the mail room, then take a week or two to get to you.

Yeah I asked about the POE thing but he suggested that the guys in the U.S. may not notice the anniversary date and put me down as conditional without realising, and it was easier to do it this way.

Interesting development though, ~I just checked my tracking with dx for the thousandth time and it now has monday as the delivery date.

Its strange how every time I post a question on this forum something immediately happens!

Let's assume London IV monitors VJ, aye?
