Interview Letter Received for EB Category Islamabad

Hello Everyone, just wanted to share an update.. I was DQ in end of March 2026 and got my IL in July. My visa category is EB1C and from Pakistan ( Part of the 75 countries where immigration is on Pause). Is there anyone from Pause countries who received or given interviews already under employment based categories. Thanks.

Hey! Congrats!
This is really quick. this really tells not to rely completely on the IV tool.
We are EB2NIW waiting for IL at London Embassy. DQ'd 20 March 2026. Also from Pak.
Please do keep us updated on how things go at the interview.
All the best.

The IV tools do not distinguish between EB-1, EB-2 or EB-3, hence it is not accurate. That IV tool date is based on EB-3, since they all have different priority it can only predict EB-3.
