Funnily enough, I don’t go back and read the last six weeks worth of posts before I respond to something! I’ve got no idea what he said on the 2nd of November when I’m simply replying to a post made yesterday. And, I would point out, just trying to help.

 

I’m on various EB-1A groups on WhatsApp and Facebook, some of them have had interview letters. You can also check the official stats if you don't believe anybody has had an IL past July 2024, for example May 2025's report which shows that 13 EB1 visas were issued by London that month. We have no way of knowing exactly when their IL's were issued, but it would have been well after July 2024 for interviews nearly a year later. 

 

Were you born in the UK? Have you transferred your case from anywhere else? 

I still don't understand this. Do we have separate queues for different EB categories since you mentioned some EB1 with 2025 DQ have been scheduled, I know EB2 and possibly EB3 haven't gone past mid 2024, so how come they're scheduled differently. I say this cause I have been current for 6months yet no IL and with this retrogressed IV tool, it's not looking good for me

I'm still not sure where this 'haven't gone past mid 2024' has come from, this forum is only a tiny sample of EB applicants. I think the date given on the USCIS tool seems pretty accurate. Again, looking at the stats from May 2025 just as an example, London issued 107 EB-2/3 visas in that month, so those people must have had IL's at some point in 2025. 

 

But don't forget that for some of that time there were no visas available for EB2 (when there were for EB1). And there's always far more EB2 and EB3 applicants than EB1. So there will be a bit of a backlog to get through because they paused those applications so are now on catch up. 

 

I also think that unfortunately the Trump policies are slowing things down now, and immediate relatives will always get priority so if they're slower that has a knock on effect on the rest of us.

 

Fingers crossed you don't have to wait too much longer, good luck.

Hi all. I’ve spent some time reading through all the messages to try and understand where things are at for EB2 visas. Seeing that it’s been said that they aren’t working anyone past July 2024, what’s the estimated time to expect an IL for those DQ’d 18th March 2025?
