Thanks.There are a few of us amongst the last group of London DCF filers. In case you haven't come across it already, there is a link to thread in which we have been posting our updates: 
 

Thank you. We recieved an email with a password locked PDF.

Hi everyone,
 
I know the COVID-19 situation has meant that processing times have ground to a halt, but I am just trying to get my head around the entire process of applying for a spouse green card via the DCF route in London. I've looked at Wikis and threads that have described the process from start to finish, but a lot of these are from a few years ago and some of the forms mentioned are no longer in use. Therefore, I have put together a more updated list of steps and documents required.
 
In my case, I am a British citizen and am being sponsored by my US citizen wife. We submitted our I-130/I-130a petition on the 17th of March, but due to the pandemic, processing has not yet begun. Nonetheless, we received confirmation from USCIS that as long as our petition was post-marked before the 31st of March they would still process it. Any I-130 petitions post-marked after the 31st of March will not be accepted as the USCIS London office has now stopped processing these.
 
We are now trying to prepare ourselves for what the next steps will involve. Note, my wife is currently not making an income and we will therefore be using a joint sponsor. With this in mind, here are the steps we expect to go through over the next few months:
 
1.    Receive e-mail confirming that USCIS have received and filed our petition (NOA1)
2.    Receive I-130 approval letter (NOA2) in the post from USCIS stating that our petition has been approved and that we should expect an LND number to be sent by the Immigrant Visa Unit (IVU) at the London US Embassy within 8 weeks
3.    Receive LND Number in the post (this used to be known as Packet 3) from the IVU
4.    Complete form DS-260 online
5.    Book medical appointment with Visa Medicals (http://www.visamedicals.co.uk/us.htm) and book interview at US embassy to take place a few days after this (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv)
6.    Attend Medical appointment
Required documents: Vaccination records from GP Print out of NHS summary care record from GP 4 passport photographs 7.    Attend interview at US embassy
Required documents: My passport  Our original marriage certificate (+1 photocopy) Two passport photographs of myself My UK police certificate (+1 photocopy) My UK birth certificate (+1 photocopy) My wife’s I-864, including supporting documents: Wife's IRS tax transcripts for the past 3 years Copy of my wife's US passport photo page Documents proving my wife intends on re-establishing domicile in the US (e.g., voting record, driving licence renewal, e-mails showing inquiries into possible jobs) Joint sponsor's I-864, including supporting documents: Joint sponsor's IRS tax transcripts for past 3 years Copy of joint sponsor's US passport photo page Joint sponsor's pay stubs for the past 6 months Letter from joint sponsor's employer confirming nature of employment, salary etc. 8.    Receive passport back via Embassy courier service
 
Do the steps above make sense, or have I missed our anything? I would be grateful for any advice. Cheers!
