It didn't update in August until the 8th, and even later in July IIRC. There's no set day so I don't think the shutdown has anything to do with it.

@syvvs, the scheduling tool has been updated - its not showing any changes from last month, still on March 25

London has started sending invite to family based visa category! Employment based should come next by God’s grace.

Oh! You don’t have UK resident permits or one of the listed documents in the NVC email?

 

Nobody from the employment category attest to receiving the Invite from London yet, so I hope they haven’t sent or we possibly don’t know those invited yet.

Probably because they didn’t schedule anyone for interview since the quota was exhausted. It’s expected

Yes im just glad that it wasnt retrogressed because of this

Has anybody else received this today?

 

At my interview ill be updating the officer that since my application im now a UK citizen - so not personally concerned that ill face delays by going through the London consulate.

 

Iv seen some conflicting information on reddit with people saying that they have been advised to contact NVC - even if they want to remain in London - through to people like myself who interpret it to mean i can ignore it and carry on with London.

 

I wanted to get the opinions here based on anybody elses experiences or understanding of this

 

Ultimately im taking it to be that they are working on allocating interview slots and we should have this through soon

I’m on a Global Talent Visa in the UK and I think I should reply them based on the second option (special circumstances) of contacting via the public inquiry form.

 

it costs nothing to reply since the specifically asked for a reply if I want to proceed with London. I planned replying on Monday.

 

Specifically because I don’t want a sorry case of them now pending my case possibly because they are waiting for a response or whatever the case may be.

I’ll make sure that my heading is that I’m retaining London as my post and include any necessary details including my job contract.

 

Let’s hear from others for better justification if they contribute.
