Also I guess there has been a reduction in firms to be processed maybe due to restrictions on who can enter US at this time?
The petition timeframe is 90 days but ours has been approved in about 60 days since filing. I'm wondering about the number of weeks until the Embassy gets in touch about the next steps.

Good friend Ian-mstn is retired from these boards but I recall his frequent comment that tracking processing times was “the path to madness.”

Among immigration lawyers it was often noted the two most frequent questions from clients were “how long?” and “where is my work permit?” In 40 years I found out that I was almost always wrong. (Too short or too long). This not meant as any criticism of concern over time lines, but sometimes the best answer is “ it happens when it happens.”

When we were going through the process for our green cards and people asked me about it I would reply "the wheels of governmental bureaucracy turn at their own special speed", the majority of people then made sympathetic noises in response.

Just as an update, we received an e-mail from the London Office today confirming that they had received our petition, but are currently unable to process the credit card payments.

The e-mail also says that "Once processed, we will send you a follow-up email to confirm that the payment has been taken and to provide the anticipated adjudication time. Under current circumstances, we intend to conduct the I-130 adjudication by July, if not sooner."

We are by no means in the clear yet, but this correspondence is a promising sign that progress is being made....

Sounds very positive and an encouraging step forward.

Good luck.

Welcome to the club of final London DCF filers (last but not least)! I assume you mailed off your petition the week of the 16th of March?

Remember that you need the Police certificate in order to get your medical. You need to bring it to Knightsbridge.

That was actually one of the first documents I was able to obtain - ACRO were great. We’ve been able to gather most of the pieces of evidence we’ll need for the next stage, but the only thing that’s missing are the tax transcripts. It’s currently impossible to get hold of these if you filed from abroad as the IRS system doesn’t accept a foreign address...

Yes, the Police Cert was pretty straight forward and speedy. If only everything was so simple.

We are still waiting for word. Given what is going on in the World right now we aint too fussed......though it would still be nice to hear something😏

The thought of travelling to London is not a good thought but hey ho.....

So my police cert is dated 25th March but I wonder will this become too old by the time we actually have a medical?
