Thanks, I can only hope they turn the evidence around very fast now. Anything on your case number yet?

No, I've decided it won't be until next year, that way if it arrives sooner it's a bonus.

NOA2 received today, dated 5th January. Only almost a month late, hoping for a fast turn around of the case number but based on your experience so far I won't hold my breath.

Yay, progress!  My husbands case number came within a week after the NOA2, I want to say just a couple of days later.  Also to help put you at ease, we had our incredibly relaxed interview on Tuesday, we were the very last one of the day, and got the email Friday that the visa is on its way to the courier.  That means we will be getting his passport back less than a week after the interview.  So seems it goes fast after the NOA2!

I think Cam is still waiting for his case number though, so they don't seem to be very on the ball right now. My new employer is being incredibly patient about my delays, but are eager for a new start date so sooner I can get that interview date set the better!

 

Congratulations on getting it approved! When are you moving out there?

Sadly I have to leave sooner than my husband because of a job opportunity for me, too.  I'm grateful they are holding it as long as they are.  He will be moving to Oregon at the end of February and I'm going on the 7th.where abouts are you moving to?

Just to complete the circle...visa approved yesterday after about 20 mins at the embassy.

Hi everyone,

 

This is my first post but i've been on another forum for quite a while but wanted to branch out here as well.

 

London 1-130 Processing times have only advanced 2 days since the 27 January! It was processing apps from 14th December on 27th Jan, then on 17th Feb it was updated and showed no change with 14th December petitions still being processed, then today they updated after another week and its now only 16th December! Whats going on! I heard DCF was supposed to be faster lol.

 

We didn't file until mid Jan so i'm hoping its just the backlog of pre christmas petition filers and that next week it might jump to early Jan filers.

 

Anyone who filed recently want to chime in here. Doesn't seem to be a DCF London filing timeline thread about.

Hi Chris,

 

For what it's worth - I think the processing time at the end of Jan was unusually quick and now seems to be settling back into its "about 9 weeks" standard which I've seen over the past 4 months. Sometimes there are big jumps in the date and sometimes they just get the date wrong when they update... I know it's no fun at all. 

 

I picked up my visa today, just under 20 weeks from NOA1, with a straightforward case, no RFE and soonest available medical and embassy appointments, in case that helps with your planning.

 

Best of luck

just adding in as I have also been obsessively tracking since early March - basically, it's not reliable! Some weeks they update it and the date jumps logically, but then clearly they forget, don't update it for several days past when they're 'supposed' to and then can't be bothered to find the real date applications are being processed from so just leave up whatever was on there. This scenario has happened twice, plus other weeks they are usually 'late' updating the info as well. I think for anyone new, it's just important to keep it mind as a ballpark but not stress too much - it's really the longest step in the process so try to be zen about it (I know I am!!).
