Thanks @appleblossom, im hoping ill be moving over by Christmas Not worried right now about the delay but if i can be over there by December sometime ill be happy. My sisters due to have her first baby (a little girl) around the 6th January, so will be amazing to be reunited over in Seattle before she arrives!

@iaiyam1 No im back on the waiting train, my date retrogressed in the latest visa bulletin Dont think ill be waiting for long till im current again, but ill be following here to see how long it takes for people to get interviews this month

Yes hopefully next week but also hoping we get something in the next few days!

Hey, no nothing yet

If you haven’t bothered to fill out your timeline, don’t be surprised when people can’t give you helpful answers. It’s frustrating seeing the same questions pop up from folks who give zero context — when we’ve all said repeatedly: just fill in your timeline. I get that spreadsheets are easier to sort through, but this forum isn’t just meant to be a database — it’s a community. And timelines are how people know where you’re at. Google Sheets are only useful to the handful of people who already know they exist. Newbies don’t, and then it’s chaos — same questions, no answers, and nothing to go on. It takes five minutes. If you can ask a question, you can fill in a timeline.

Hey @UEDD, embassies have different processing times and notification dates so your friends lucky to be going through an embassy a bit faster than Londons. It's not an exact science to figure out when London will release their dates but i looks like they have already done this for June so you will perhaps be told in July There are a few of us (myself included) who are waiting for their interview notifications so it really depends on the number of people in the queue waiting to be told as well. I suspect because there was a big jump for those now current in June there will be a small wait to process those going through London Please fill in your timeline - you'll find the link on your comment above beside the photos link

Congrats @Atlas737, that’s great news! Am I correct in understanding that they only do interview releases in one batch so if we haven’t heard today we need to wait for next month now?

@appleblossom sorry just wanted to clarify my understanding. With my petition being current in June and my DQ date being June 2024 does that mean i will be immediately in line for an interview slot? Given the big jump in the visa bulletin im assuming there will be a larger pool of people needing to have interviews arranged but technically i could be informed of an interview date in June? Ultimately im thinking my actual interview date wont be till around September time but just wanted to check my understanding of the relationship between PD and DQ is correct? Do you also know if there is any priority given to interview slots with applicants who have an EB1 vs EB2?

Im going to be current from June! Completely shocked at the big FAD jump today. Ill definitely be posting my experience - first up the wait for the interview notice

Iv got ,y EB2 NIW approved but now i need to wait for my GC to be issued when my PD becomes current - will i need to submit updated police clearance certificates for this process?

Hi all, I have a quick question around the police clearance submissions. When i qualified for EB2 NIW in Oct 23 i when ahead and submitted the police checks required for the counties iv lived in for longer than 6 months - Canada, UK and NZ. Because of the backlog im concerned that the 2 year mark is coming up - should i get these done again? Iv been back to NZ since - i live in the UK - but haven't been back to Canada since my visa approval. I really hope i dont have to do the Canadian one again as it's such a faff but will do this if i need to. Thanks in advance

@pebb1ee Thank you for confirming, that sounds alot more simple and straightforward than i was imagining! Congrats on being nearly finished

@pebb1ee Could you please give some details of your interview? What questions were asked?

Thank you!! I'm trying to gauge roughly the time frame once a visa is available to me - fingers crossed this will be sometime at the end of next year!

Hi AppleBlossom - do you know if the summer backlog eases and goes back to the timeframe you experienced of 3-4 months? Or do you think that this is going to be a somewhat normal timeframe going forward from what you can see? Thanks for your all help on the board!!

Haha seems to be the case!! Ah ok thanks for confirming - so you can basically get everything ready to go so once your current you can have the interview and then green card in hand not long after that Thanks all for your help!!!

Thanks appleblossom for your help! When i login it will allow me to pay the fees (havent done this yet) but the application section is greyed out Thanks for confirming the timeline details, think thats where my confusion is coming in because everything iv read tells me its too early but then i have received the letter so wasnt sure what was going on and if i was missing something in the application process timeline

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but i cannot seem to find an answer. My EB2 NIW has been approved and NVC have sent through the welcome letter with the details for payment/documents required. Im a little confused about the timeline for submission/when to be DQ/when to be interviewed by the consulate. I understand there is a backlog, my PD is 2nd October 2023 ROW, who knows when ill be in front of the queue but thats not quite a concern for me at the moment. I dont quite understand the process now my EB2 has been approved, do i need to wait until im eligible to file to submit the DS260? Or can i do this now, become DQ, have the interview at the consulate and then wait until my PD is current? Thanks for your help, Lauren
