Thank you @appleblossom, confirms my thoughts. I'm not sure if this was a way of pushing for more business via AoS or something. You are right, I am outside of the US right now, in Europe. They have said that if I return (for business) before the via is issued, it's likely I'd be denied entry for immigrant intent. I honestly can't see why that would be the case, with a return ticket and processing underway for consular route. I will try my luck. Thank you for the advice, I'll keep the forum updated with progress as I go along.

Hello everyone, Just after a bit of advice, finding something quite confusing. I have just been approved today for an EB1A [PD 9 June 2025, Nebraska] and my attorney is saying I have the choice of consular or trying for the AOS route. He has said that consular can take over a year to clear through NVC before it reaches London Embassy. Alternatively, AOS will be 8-10 months. Having read this forum, I query this as it seems like the NVC process takes a lot less time, then luckily London is fast to process. I think the Attorney has not handled many UK cases before, but I could well be wrong. If someone could give me a clear answer on what the expected timeline to receiving the immigrant visa in my passport, via consular in London, I would greatly appreciate it. Happy to answer any questions on my journey so far! Thank you Andrew B
