Do you think the vb will be published on Friday? Thanks
ReplyDeletei wonder if EB3 Philippines will have another big Jump for September.
ReplyDeleteyes indeed! another big jump for EB3Phil!
DeleteI hope and pray that EB3 will have another big jump
ReplyDeleteEB3 expected big Jump is on October with fresh Quota to cut through the current inventory, Septemebr move f happen would be to prevent any potential Visa loss
DeleteEB3 ROW will very likely be current by Q3 of FY2015. India and China, not so much.
DeleteU r wrong. India not so much. China will move with row to around mid of 2012 by end of 2015. Thinking eb3 row being current is ridiculous.
DeleteI'm not wrong, I know how to add and subtract which evidently is something you have yet to learn. If you want to give it a try on your own instead of taking a look at the stupid lineal calculators used on websites such as this one, then do this: gather all EB3 ROW visa allocations for Q4 FY 2014 along with the rest of current FY. After you do that, take a look at PERM approvals for FY11/12/13. Upon doing that, go at visa allocations for Q1 FY 2015. If you know how to add and understand how this system works you will come to the realization that by the March 2015 VB EB3 ROW will be on PD's around November of 2013. If you care to do the rest of the math you will see EB3 ROW will be current next year. It's not ridiculous, it's math - learn how to do it on your own before you decide what's right and what's wrong.
DeleteHi! Would you have calculations for eb3 Phils as well? My PD is January 2012...Thanks!
DeleteIf you think what opp said or stated regarding the visa numbers r remotely true, u r too naive... stop using 3rd grade math to calculate the visa numbers. They dont even match from month to month if u take a slightly closer look. sigh...
Deleteno movement in eb3 india. i hate it. please think about it.
ReplyDeleteIts real pain..but problem is that we (EB3 people) keep so low profile that no one actually bothers.
DeleteAmazon..Do you mean 60-70 days for newly filed I-485 applications? I'm Nov 2008 PD EB2I and filed in Mar 2012. I got the standard RFE for medical, evl on Jun 23. Reply reached TSC on Jul 14. Yet no response. TSC is approving very slow even for preadjudicated applicants who were current in July.
ReplyDelete60 to 70 days I-485 approval is a big JOKE!!!
ReplyDeleteLittle relax for F2A who were waiting for a long time, it is going to move forward now, we hope it should become current in the upcoming month
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think F2A will be current?My PD is june 2013.Unfortunately when i finish my interview on may 2014 at consular abroad they told me that the process had been retrogress and told me to wait untill my PD to be current....
ReplyDeletehe is just dreamimg.
Deleteme also waiting.....my pd is also June 2013.
ReplyDeleteWhen the hell visa bulletin is going to realese
ReplyDeleteToday only...8 hrs to go
ReplyDeleteHow can you say that?please let me know because it's do or die situation for me
ReplyDeleteIts my observation..!!
DeleteDo or die or stay or leave? Relax and enjoy your life. Life is on the planet not on the green card.
DeleteWhen is the sep visa bulletin coming outt?
ReplyDeletePriority date is Oct 9th 2012 hurry release the sept visa bulletin to see if I wil be current
ReplyDeletePriority date is Oct 9th 2012 hurry release the sept visa bulletin to see if I wil be current for F2A
DeleteMine is March 2012. Dying of waiting already...:D
DeleteAre you making fun... u r pd is current. ... cut off date is may 1 2012
DeleteSorry, EB3 I mean...
DeleteYou missed by 11 months...
DeleteMy PD is 29Mar2011 (F1) I need someone to tell me whether it is current or not.
DeleteThey gave me a cut off date of may 1,2012.. and a priority date of january 2014.. under F2A category.. so what date should I be looking for? For the visa to be available?
ReplyDeleteI am waiting from last 2 years and 3 months under f2a.. your wait is just 8 months so calm down... my pd is 8 may 2012...
DeleteI think they're taking longer to release the Sept VB because it is the end of the fiscal year.
ReplyDeleteMine is Mar 09 eb2-dying
ReplyDeletewhen will they release sep bulletin. Today or tomorrow at least ?
ReplyDeleteI think they will release by 15 th sep
ReplyDeleteThe wait is killing.
ReplyDeleteIt will be better if they do not publish these visa bulletins as they can not follow the timelines and approval process.
They can directly approve the GC when ever they can,so that we can focus on work and family life.
wtf ... it already 4pm cst are they sleeping ..... this is the height of laziness .... release the bulletin or atleast post a message saying when it is due to come out
DeleteBefore complaining about the government process here, just think about the process where you came from. And if you could please shut up wait while working hard and get your gc.
Deletestill no bulletin.... another sleepless night .... till tomm
ReplyDeleteWorst days in Life.
DeleteTrackitt down
No Sep 2014 Visa Bulletin
No Demand Data these days
Life Sucks Boys and Girls
I think Depart of State(DOS) did a Denial of Service(DoS) attach on Trackit I guess.
ReplyDeletepoor trackitt once a month their servers get pummelled to bits ... i wish i could see the load stats for today on thier servers it would be an interesting read
Deletebtw the uscis visa bulletin site is also slowed down ...
ReplyDeleteI keep calling the phone line((202) 485-7699) every 10 mins but no use.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? It's because of guys like you, everybody gets a bad name. Why do you keep calling every 10 minutes? Geeez. Calm down or goto the gym dide!
DeleteI also emailed them VISABULLETIN@STATE.GOV
ReplyDeleteLost hope about the system in USA.
ReplyDeleteHoping the news is positive despite the wait...I want the PD to be at least july of 2009...
ReplyDeleteIt will be current till Oct 2009 for EB2 India in Sep 2014 VB.
DeleteThis wait is a killer. Hopefully they will have a better news. 03/03/2009 eb2 PD.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteStill no update yet. Sigh... Hope to wake up to a better news EB3Phils-PDMarch2012.:D
ReplyDeletehow difficult is it to estimate the amount of visas it is not as if that they are going to cause a huge catastrophe if they miss by a few weeks ... they should use commonsense and move the dates so people who have spent 400 bucks of hard earned money giving medicals get a chance to use those medicals otherwise next year it will be another 400 bucks down the drain
DeleteYou use your common sense as its your wallet. To me it seems they are perfectly okay collecting the fees as much as possible.
DeleteYou guys have to be patient. End of the fiscal year and the computer glitch might affect the VB release.
ReplyDeleteMy PD is Dec 29th 2003 - EB3 .. Any suggestions when it could be current ?
ReplyDeletemy pd is 13th jan 2004 -eb3 india ..waiting so anxiously
Delete17th Nov 2003! I am sure you will know how frustrating it is to know, that dates didn't move forward
DeleteWhen the bulletin will release ?can anyone tell me exact time
ReplyDeleteYes by Sep 1st 2014 12am
ReplyDeleteWhat? Are you serious?
DeleteU r wrong don't try to calculate with third grade maths
Deletehttp://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/when-visa-bulletin-is-going-to-be-available-for-mo-1839517.html

ReplyDeleteBig jump again for eb3 Phil...April 01 2011!
ReplyDeletethis sucks again another month wait till next bulletin missed by 2 months
ReplyDeleteTogether again...ROW, Mexico and Philippines!
ReplyDeleteEb2 1may 2009
ReplyDeleteThank god..
ReplyDeleteHello Amazon,
ReplyDeleteAny chances for the EB2 India cut off dates to move till Oct 16th 2009 in the October 2014 Visa Bulletin in case they want to use the FY2015 Visa Numbers.
Thanks,
any chance of it moving further ahead next month for eb2i ?
ReplyDeleteR u indians crazy? Opp just gave all the SO to you guys and you are asking more? Lol?
Deleteyeah we are ... we have been waiting longer than most ppl in the same category .... infact there should not be any distinction by country ....
Deletein fact they should! YOU ARE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE here! maybe it is better to stay in your country
DeleteYes EB2 India dates will move in Oct 2014 Visa Bulletin if they want to use the FY2015 numbers and retrogress in November 2014 Visa Bulletin.
DeleteRacist! Arent you an immigrant, too?
DeleteWhat is your county of birth? What has hurt u a lot in ur A**?
DeleteYou guys are ridiculous. The process of greencard is quiet frustrating to begin with...first convincing the company to sponsor then doing perm, I-140...then waiting waiting waiting...and in this whole process so many good job opportunities are lost, travel can become limitation for some, spouses cant work, job security becomes more important..we all spend hrs reading blogs, figuring out what nos mean, wait eagerly to see the visa bulletin and drive everyone around us crazy including spouses by discussing this topic over and over again.....
DeleteSo the whole point of this blog and Q&A is to support one another whether your priority date be 2004 or 2014.
You are right. Unfortunately I can't edit the comment but I want to sincerely apologize to all Indians that might be offended. Hope to see you here soon.
DeleteAgreed. Too many Indian EBs here in this country.
DeleteBefore making racist marks, you should know who played a major role in building silicon valley here ...
DeleteEB2 India Moved to 01 May 2009 in September Bulletin
ReplyDeletehttp://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin/2014/visa-bulletin-for-september-2014.html
what the hell is going with EB3 ROW. when will it move forward again. another retrogression perhaps???
ReplyDeleteEB3-ROW will move in the OCT VB. Why do you think there will be retrogression? Look at the latest USCIS demand data, only slightly over 11K up until 01 Oct 2012.
DeleteLets hope so. Do you reckon it would move upto July 2013 or so? Or will it just 1-2 months movement?
DeleteI don't know about that; some people are even predicting that eb3row will become current in the later half of fy15, see for example eb3 predictions in q immigration blog.
Deletethe idea of it being current is ridiculous, but you never know. we can hope for the best :)
DeleteAll dates will move forward in oct since its the new fiscal yr. The dates stopped this month due to Oppen has given pretty much all the left over/spill over visa to EB2I. Remember, 1 week worth of EBindia applicants= current for all EB3 in all countries.
DeleteIt's highly likely that EB3 ROW will be current, this is based on numbers available.
Deletemight be by Q2 or ! 3 at the latest.
Why the idea of EB3 ROW being current is ridiculous?
Deletewithout doing any math, they have moved more 5 years in 2 fiscal years.
doesn't that tell that the demand is EB3ROW is slow?
They will easily move to be Current in even provide some spillover to EB3 I.
Yes, also check Q's forum for EB3 predictions, it's logically laid out there!
Yes, EB3 ROW being current IS ridiculous.
Deletestop living in your fantasy world. open your eyes instead.
stop checking visa numbers using elementary school math. check historical visa number allocation instead.
visa numbers/visa bulletin dates were never truly calculated by visa numbers.
When will EB3 Mexicol move back to where it was before??, August 2012???
ReplyDeleteFinally,Can anyone predict the VB for October 2014 for F2A catagory?Is there any chance for moving forward again???
ReplyDeleteyes, according to the previous situations (i.e. 2011) in the future months there will be more forward for f2a
DeleteYes there will more forward movement for F2A in oct 2014
Deletefor how many month it wil forward... any prediction ..
Deletemy pd15july 2013
No movement in f4 india case :-@
ReplyDeleteHi! For October VB, is there a possibility that EB3 Phils will reach PD Feb 2012?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so,before the end of the year,
DeleteHello Amazon-
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you what an AMAZING job you are doing.
I havent seen you post in the comment section in a while now- so I have a question for you- of course this is a very redundant question but I would like to get your insight on the FY2015 predictions for EB3 ROW as your predictions have been quiet accurate.
I dont know how to play with numbers and I appreciate the effort that you put into it and that is why it is best to ask the expert...However I read a lot of blogs where prediction for FY2015 is that EB3-ROW can become current.
I want to see what you feel about that. My priority date is Dec 2012 EB3 ROW but I want to know your opinion and this will be a lot of help to all your readers.
It would be awesome if you can let us know what to expect in Q1 and Q2 as a lot of people intend to travel around Dec time and want to file I485 asap.
If i would take a kick on this until Amazon respond, Yes, there is high possibility of ROW to be current by Q2/Q3.
DeleteThis is based on available pending inventory/PERM approved for EB3 ROW with October12 until now and the number of Visa available to EB3ROW next year!
Thank you!
DeleteAmazon,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about EB2 India PD in the Oct 2014 Visa Bulletin.
I think it will not move, my PD is EB2 India may 22nd 2009
DeleteQuestion,Why the EB2I Dates will not move in October 2014 VB,Anyway they may get FY2015 Visas in Oct 2014.
DeleteThey are any way planning to retrogress the EB2 I cutoff dates in November VB to 2005.
I am hoping your priority date(05/22/2009) will surely be current in the Oct 2014 VB but I can say about getting the GC.
I am current this September... what will happen next? eb3 philippines july 2010 PD
ReplyDeleteWhat is your current employment status and are you in the US already working?
DeleteNo, I am working here in England.
DeletePlease verify your employer/petitioner in the US if your job/work in the US is still available for and file your Adjustment of Status (I-485) so that your papers will be forwarded to NVC and will be forwarded to the US Phil. Consulate for visa approval and interview. Please check documents requirements for filing I-485 and how the NVC (National Visa Center) will handle and process your paper. Review the links provided in this blog, or go to www.uscis.gov and search the subjects. Better still contact the immigration lawyer that handled your case if they were provided by your petitioner/employer. I hope this will help.
DeleteThank you. My lawyer just paid the visa fee bill and now will just have to wait for 3-4 days for further instructions. I also asked her if I can have my interview scheduled here at US embassy London than in the Philippines.
Deletef4 will move in oct bulletin
ReplyDeleteHi My PD is May 12, 2009 EB3 Phil and is current this August. Til now no letter or notice from NVC. How long will I wait to receive the notice
ReplyDeleteYou should have my friend PD march,10,2010 he got it last week.
DeleteHi Ano of Aug 15 at 12:01 AM. Please refer my reply to "Rud" above. Be sure that your present address is the one being used in your filings. Most of the problem in receiving notice is mishandled by the letter carrier, esp if nobody is at home during delivery. Check NVC with the docs supplied by someone who work your papers or ask the courier.
DeleteCorrection. My reply should be add to Ano of Aug 14, at 9:45 AM
DeleteThanks Ildie.I already received my NVC fee bill but my name is still my maiden name instead of my married name but my spouse and child's name are correct. Do I still have to make actions to correct my name or leave it as that. Will there be any problem in the processing if my maiden name is in the fee bill? Pls reply. Thanks
DeleteIf i got it right your still not married when your petition was filed and approved right? Do you have an immigration lawyer who works for you? If yes, ask his guidance. If, none please take note, read and understand well of form I-485 and its instructions. Go to website www.uscis.gov and look for the form and instructions. You can also look in here in Amazon blogs and its related links as guide. Anyway, when you file I-485 adjustment of status for green card, be sure that you file also the corresponding I-485 of your spouse and children. The supporting documents that you will include in the said filings, i.e. marriage contract and birth certificates of your children will provide proof of your change of status and family name from single to married and in effect leave your original documents as the filed petition. I hope this helps. God Bless and Congrats!
DeleteIldie, I'm EB3 phils I was married when we applied yet they put my maiden name in my fee bill what will I do next? Do I have to write for them to change it to my married name? Will it affect the processing?
DeleteI believe you are ok. Just save and keep your copy for your future reference. That is not the only evidence that they will require and all your documents will reconcile. If they will ask again for the said fee, just show it. They are the one who makes the receipt. Just make it sure that the references in your fee were the same references with your approval notice. You are still outside the US right? Please refer the NVC process as shown in the link as guide here by Amazon. And look also uscis website. Other than the I-485, there is another form that you need to submit I-824. If an immigration lawyer is working for you, better ask his guidance, if not study and carefully understand it. Ask question if you need. Wish you and your family good luck.
DeleteIs there a possibility that EB3 Philippines will jump to November 2011 this coming October visa bulletin ? Reply us greatly appreciated.thanks
ReplyDeleteNo one knows you just wait,!!
DeleteTo Ano of Aug 14 at 3:39 PM. Maybe between Oct to Dec 2014. My last crunching of the inventory figures is that EB3 Phil will be current before end of 2015 or early part of 2016. Yours is already there, hang on and prepare everything what is needed esp the money budget that is needed for the processing of papers. And please check with your employer/petitioner if the job is still available for you. One of the most important requirement for successful application for Adjustment of Status (I-485) to green card. I hope this one helps you. God Bless.
DeleteThanks so much for all the replies :)..im hoping that I will be part of October bulletin so that I don't need to renew my work visa next year (May2015)..praying for the best to come
DeleteBy November VB you will be current for sure. Better do your Medical and the rest of the family. And the budget for filing fees. If you have an immigration lawyer consult him. And if none, you can adjust your status by filing I-485. Read the instructions and the needed supporting documents specified in the Instructions. Remember there are different procedures while the applicant is inside in the US already, which processes is more easy, as compared to those applicants outside US which you need to know the processes in NVC. Check uscis.gov and some references in this blog as your guide. That is if you want to save the professional fees for a lawyer. Congratulations for those becoming current.
DeleteHi Amazon my PD is Sept 2012 EB3 Phils. Is there a chance it migh become current this FY 2015 before the end of this year.. Thanks
