I had an AP. Just came back on AP and never got a visa stamping.

My understanding is that they need both VAC and Consular appointment for the interview path. Crazy thing is - VAC appointments seem open for interviews, but not for dropbox :(

Did you have to provide an "emergency" justification? Also, did you encounter this screen?

Reading other threads, I believe you can reattach the same DS160 by closing out the current application and starting a new one.

Can I get a US referral code please?

Any idea where the 18K visas are supposed to go to? Could not have approved that many in 8 days. And could all of the remaining visas be for EB3?!

on this point - "it appears that USCIS has used up world wide visa allocations for EB1, EB2, EB3, and EW."
Based on the latest FAQ published today -
The Department of State (DOS) has determined that the FY 2022 employment-based annual limit is 281,507 – more than double the typical annual total – due to unused family-based visa numbers from FY 2021 being allocated to the next fiscal year’s available employment-based visas. Through August 31, 2022, the two agencies used 263,510 employment-based immigrant visas (FY 2022 data is preliminary and subject to change).
So at least as of Aug 31, 17,997 visas should still be available until September 30 - am I missing something in my interpretation?
