Ahh I see! I have not yet! 


It shouldn’t take long. Currently approx 12 days - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

Then after that comes the biggest variable in the whole process, the wait for the interview, which can vary hugely depending on consulate. But I assume your parents will be interviewing in London? Luckily that’s one of the quicker ones. 
 

Good luck.

Hopefully not too much longer then, if you're DQ'ed in the next week or so then fingers crossed they'll have their visas by summer. Best of luck!

Is anyone else still waiting for any progress? Filed 1/2/25 and haven’t heard anything at all. But it’s encouraging to see everyone else for the same month moving, I hope ours gets worked on soon! 

 

Which family member did you file for?
