Hello, thank you so much for your reply!
1. I just wanted to also ask in what way is this year not a normal processing year? And what effect this is having on us the applicants?
2. Also, I have not received the 2NL yet (current in May). Does this mean my case has not yet been scheduled or put in line for interview scheduling?
3. For May, AS17000 - AS30000 will be current. Will the interview invitations for this group be in order of the case number? Or the submission of DS260?
4. London says they are very back-logged while Bangkok seems okay, which is why I want to change to Bangkok. However, I'm trying to assess if moving from London to Bangkok will be too much of a risk because my original DS260 was submitted since 9th June 2021, and I might risk getting a much later interview if I submitted it again for a different interview location even though the new location is not backlogged. Is this concern valid? What information do I need to guide my decision?
5. Is there any way to check how many visas have already been issued in total? I'm scared that it's fast approaching 55,000
Thank you so very much!
AS26xxx (current in May)
Current chosen interview location: London
DS-260 submitted 9th June 2021
