Iām new to the group ā in the process of applying for the GV, but have not yet transferred the funds, but am close to doing so. This conversation is somewhat alarming. Is there a link that someone can point me to that explains what changes are happening? The lawyer said that the approval of the application and issuance of the RV can take up to 14 months. What Iām getting from reading through the comments on this thread is that SEF has stopped reviewing/issuing more GV visas with little or no communication with applicants/attorneys. Is that a correct interpretation? Thanks.
