O-1 processing time at London embassy

[DrEllaNJ 288]

every time I see you updated, I think it'll finally be good news. Sorry for the long wait, hope it will be issued soon! And please keep us in the loop!

Hey, have you received any news? More people are stuck on AP with O1 in London and have been posting on VJ.

Hey, nope, nothing. I have two applications going - O1 and H1B - at London, both stuck. Embassy says it’s out of its hands. Having waited a full year, my attorney filed a mandamus lawsuit last week - my university and I just can’t wait any longer. The whole thing has been nothing short of absurd.

Well, I really hope it goes your way.

Thanks - as it happens, my attorney has received a very promising message from LegalNet overnight. More soon.

O visa issued! It took an entire year and the threat of litigation.

What a story! How frustrating! Hopefully it’s still of use to you now.

Thanks, everyone. To all others with this ridiculous problem: if you've been in AP for more than six months, start to explore mandamus action with a suitably qualified attorney. Jay Gairson of Seattle helped me - he was excellent.

Haven't been on a while, but this is excellent news, congrats! But ridiculous they made you wait that long.

What an amazing story! Just reading the whole thing. (I will be facing the consular interview soon.) Thanks for patiently sharing your story and congratulations on your perseverance!
