How quickly can I get the LDN #

[Yorkshirelass 1]

Hi everyone,

Delighted to receive my NOA2 today - hurrah

So the next step is waiting for package 3. I notice the London Embassy is going to online submission from 1 Sept for package 3 forms http://london.usembassy.gov/ds2001.html so not sure what will be sent to me.

I know some people have managed to find out their LDN# before receiving the package 3 by emailing the Embassy with an enquiry, via uscis.london@dhs.gov (thanks TomandCatie) How long do you need to leave it before doing that?

I am really keen to try and have my medical before 27 September, fingers crossed, as I'm due to be out of the country 1 Oct - 1 Dec (although if necessary can change my ticket to come back earlier). That way I could submit all the forms a bit later to allow for the Embassy interview to be scheduled as soon after 1 Dec as possible. And even have Christmas in the States!!!

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I would leave it 3 weeks before asking for your LND number.

USCIS will be able to help, but only after about 3 weeks from the NOA2.

You can always try to send an enquiry to this link: http://london.usembassy.gov/niv/visa_contact_form.html

But the changes of them having an LND number right now are pretty slim.

PS: Congrats on your NOA2!

Thanks Dbkrantz, will pester them in 3 weeks then if I haven't heard anything.

Does feel a milestone to get the NOA2, daft really but proof the steps are passing by keep you calm.

It is a milestone! I was super excited when I saw I was approved.

The wait from NOA2 till the packet 3 might be a little long but you should get the letter within a month max. You can start calling people after 3 weeks or so, which is what I did when I saw no letter arrived

I received the letter today with the LND # but it was assigned on the 27th. So it took us 3 weeks and 4 days for it to be assigned to his case. I'd give it 3 weeks and then email the uscis email, or wait until the 2 week mark and use the online contact form. They are a week behind, so by the time they see your request it will be 3 weeks

[Dbkrantz 16]

The contact form would be the way to do it first. They aim to respond within 5 working days. If you don't get a respond within that frame, then email the USCIS office.

It took us about two weeks to receive our LND numbers.

Best wishes

Hi!

Our medical was fine. My husband didn't like it, but it went fine. No news from them so no problem, I suppose.

No interview assigned yet for you?

By the way, please fill in your timeline!

It's very helpful for others to see what the processing is like when doing DCF!

Are you doing Direct Consular Filing at the US Embassy in London? Or are you currently in the states?

[justoleme 5]

I am UKC my husband is USC, we have an attorney in USA who has filed our I-130.

Our case is at NVC and we are waiting for them to review it so then i can attend the interview in London.

I have had my Medical on August 21st 2013.

Just a thought but does anyone know about the new form DS-260 ?

As our attorney filed our case there in USA ( i am in uk , hubby in usa ) i am just wondering do we now have to submit that too? as they have not reviewed my case as yet at NVC. We are on the 20 day wait time frame .

Yes it is most probably still sitting in a pidgeon hole somewhere !!!

Many thanks
