Are there any VJ members who have received an interview for an employment based immigrant visa? For example EB1, EB2, EB3?

 

I know London are now processing all categories but I have yet to hear anything about my case, DQ early December last year. 

We are in the same position. DQ'd last year and waiting on an interview for an EB-3 visa. We haven't had any movement yet.

Completing your profile would be useful to those replying to your questions. Visa type, embassy, etc.

 

I don’t know much specific to an EB3 case, but I would choose

“I have received a letter/email from the consular section with instructions to schedule an immigrant visa appointment.”

 

If it works, then you are ahead and not sitting around waiting on a letter that may not ever arrive. It happens. As I said before, the embassy is not going to send you an appointment. They are supposed to send you a letter saying we have your file, go to our website and find your instructions here https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/how-to-apply-2/ You are not going to have to show that letter at any point in the process. It simply tells you where to find your instructions on their website.  

Info for what to get in place first so you are prepared before making your medical appointment.
You could get offered an appointment within the week you call and gathering what you need to bring doesn’t happen that quickly.  See the list of what to bring to your medical here https://visamedicals.co.uk/united-states/

I would deal with medical pre-preparation before even looking for an interview date on the calendar.

 

 

Is there any update as to if this worked? We are also waiting on our interview for EB-3.

Thanks,

Kyle

PP 10014 was rescinded but PP 10143 that Biden issued in January is still in place: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/01/28/2021-02024/suspension-of-entry-as-immigrants-and-nonimmigrants-of-certain-additional-persons-who-pose-a-risk-of Are you somehow exempt to PP 10143? If not, odds are DOS will use the unlawful "No Visa Policy" as an excuse to not issue the visa. That policy is unlawful because the Proclamation is specifically about entry so someone subject to the Proclamation can travel to an unrestricted country (e.g. Mexico, Serbia, Croatia, Turkey, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, etc.) for 14 day stay and then travel to the US. Also, after being ordered by Federal courts DOS has issued the visas with an annotation saying "subject to presidential proclamation"

There is yet to be a universal order for all visa types issued by Federal judge.

Thank you for the info! we are not exempt unfortunately.
I worried that this might be the case. I had a feeling the travel ban would be used as a way to prevent the issuance of new visas. I hope it's not the case, but can see it happening. 
 

It sounds like embassy interviews are distributed around the 15th of each month, so I assume we will know a little more in the next week or two!

Thanks again,

Kyle

Kyle,

 

nothing as of yet, i think we are all waiting on just the embassy to start interviewing again

Thanks! Hopefully some movement soon!

Hey Everyone,

We are waiting on an interview for our EB-3 visa in London.
Curious if anyone has seen any movement in employment based visa interviews since the proclamation (pp10014) was recently rescinded?

Thanks,

Kyle

We’ve received DQ email in November 9th, my wife is a nurse, and our visa is EB3, as in the London embassy website says to contact NVC to expedite if healthcare professionals, we requested twice and we’ve been denied saying that they cannot expedite because they’re doing by the list. We know that before October they were granted some expedite for healthcare professionals. So I would like to know if someone requested expedite after October and have been accepted. And if someone has the interview scheduled already, when have been DQ.

We have also been waiting on our interview in London. Our DQ was Dec 7th. Did they give you any more information on the list? Hopefully they are continuing to issue interviews. I have looked on a lot of forums and haven't been able to find any info on EB-3 interviews.

Hopefully you get yours soon! Fingers crossed for you!

If you are in a vital healthcare profession, then you may qualify for an exception. Routine employment based visas are not being interviewed in London at this time.

 

See the FAQs from the embassy and bookmark it for future updates.:

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/u-s-visa-and-travel-faqs/
 

This statement in one of the FAQs:

E-3 immigrant visas for healthcare professionals

Visa interview appointments can take place. If your case is with NVC, please contact NVC directly to discuss the status of your case and any expedite options.

You can sign in to your Visa Appointment Service account to schedule or reschedule your appointment. If your appointment was canceled during lockdown and you have not yet created a Visa Appointment Service account, you will be required to register the original appointment date before you can reschedule to a new date

 

Thank you for the response! We are in the EB-3 section (employment based 3rd category) so it sounds like we are still under the presidential ban.

Thanks again!

Hey Everyone,

I am new here and stumbled upon this forum looking for answers on the London Embassy Visa processing.  
 

We are waiting for an EB-3 visa interview and all information I find online doesn’t explain much. I saw online that EB-3’s were being processed right up until November. 
 

Curious if anyone knows if EB-3’s are still being processed in London at the moment? 
 

Any info would help. Thanks and wishing everyone else waiting on their visas good luck!

Kyle
