Thanks d1 can,you send the part for consulate interview at the bottom..

Read your email

Not sure why but u i haven't received the email

@D1 - are you consulting or advisory?

D1 : If you can share the remaining part of the email that’ll be great. Most of us haven’t received the email yet and I have travel plans to get visa stamped in London.

I received the mail too (in Advisory). I think it isn't possible that their records don't have information that you are undergoing done process. In my case, I completed my Green Card process last week, but haven't informed them yet

Rest of email

Thank you D1

What if I am assigned to a project in a different city and the law firm is looking to apply for a new LCA. Will this shutdown affect the LCA process?

What about changing jobs?

EY1 you need to wait

Oh damn. Planning to fly to new city in two weeks.
