F2A cut off date is expected to be August 1th, based on the interview letters sent.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your prediction
Deletedo they send interview letters the month before priority date is current.
DeleteI think it will be January 2014 based on the processing emails people have received.
ReplyDeletePer Charles Oppenheim predictions, the movement is for F2A is only 3 to 6 weeks until May 2015 bulletin.
ReplyDeleteThat's not true. NVC in February visa bulletin used the word Potential Monthly Movement of 3 to 4 weeks. This means that it can change at any time as it did in March bulletin. Instead of moving 3 to 4 weeks as predicted, it moved for 6 weeks. So no one can correctly predict what the coming bulletin will be.
DeleteF2A movement will be only 3 to 6 weeks until May bulletin per previous guidance on movement.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure that F2A will move 3 to 6 weeks per previous guidance on movement as you said. You can not use what happened sometime ago to ascertain what is coming in future. Circumstances change. So no one can say for sure what the movement will be. Just be patience and wait until the bulletin gets released. NVC also do miss their predictions, that's why they say " POTENTIAL MONTHLY MOVEMENT"
DeleteYES YES YES!!! Thank you Man Wilson. People just throw things out there without truly knowing what "PREDICTION" means. It is absurd. Things change! A prediction is just that..... a prediction. It is not 100% factual information. Finally someone understands!!! ^_^
DeleteWe surely know that at least F2A will move up to 1st August 2013. But basic on pre-process emails that NVC sent to applicants that PD around January 2014, we can hope that VB is possible around January as well.
ReplyDeleteNot now in May or after May it will be January 2014 bczz nvc take 60days to complete that case.I think April visa bulletin will be 8 August 2013 or if less application in August so it will move 15august2013. After May visa bulletin will be Sep 15 2013 or 22 Sep 2013.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the source of this information dude..!!
ReplyDeleteNVC take 60days bro . u also can see in NVC website
ReplyDeleteWhen it take 60 days. After paying 325$..!!! Or something .?
ReplyDeleteWhen you pay IV fees nd submit documents after they review your case.
DeleteWhen you pay IV fees nd submit documents after they review your case.
DeleteDude, you said on May or after May Vb will reach 22Sep2013?
ReplyDeleteIn 2013 October visa bulletin was 08 September2013 . People pd before that they already finished nvc process but there are no visa bulletin current for those people.
ReplyDeletemy PD is October 15th, 2013 and I paid all the nvc fees, IV and AOS, I am from the rest of the world, when do you think we can get the interview?
ReplyDeleteWhen you got email from nvc to pay fees
DeleteF1 Please,what the future is for us people waiting for F1 ?
ReplyDeleteUS citizen is missing and waiting for adult child.
Today is 8 years for Europe :(
My PD is August 6, and I did not get an IL yet. By the way, I hope April VB will move to August 8 because the DOS is unpredictable in its process. In addition, we just had 6 weeks jump in March VB so April will be the same.
ReplyDeleteyour case was completed
DeleteLets hope for the best.. I miss my husband so much.. I wish its moving fast.. But im tensed now because in my tax return documents mine is filed as single.i wonder if thats going to be an issue.hopefully not.i cant stand this separation torture.
ReplyDeletedear it could be an issue, pls consult with a lawyer. dont give them any chance they will simply spoil your life.good luck
DeleteThanks for your reply.but i have already submitted all my documents.now my only option is to wait for their reply and to pray for the best.nothing else to do.
DeleteWhat is your pd
DeletePd jan 28 2014,f2a
DeleteI don't think is a problem because if he files as married, they ask for your social security number, since you don't have one, he has to fill as single.
DeleteI'm on the same page.
Any one received interview date letter from nvc PD 1 oct 2013
ReplyDeletelet see on monday. who will get interview letter please let us know
Deleteyes i got nov 22nd 2013
DeleteMay be in April or May 2015 visa bulletin, it will be January 2014, till January all the applicants had started the NVC process....
ReplyDeleteUpcoming visa bulletin will January 2014
DeleteNot yet bro bczz they didn't complete case . It's take 6 to 8 weeks so maybe may visa bulletin will be January2014
DeleteHardik you may mistaken the whole process very wrongly.. It doesnt not only depends how many applicants get case complete...NVC sent the welcome letter to jan 2014 filers to find out the demand for the big jump...And there are lots of applicants in f2a which get their case converted in CR1 coz of spouse's naturlization... So anyone cant predict visa bulletin at all
DeleteLet's see than
DeleteAnd So many applicants in f2a does not pay their nvc fee until their priority date becomes current becouse of their spouse gonna be citizen in few months so this leads to retrogression after big jump.
DeleteAnd around 1000 f2a visas have been given every month...And all of them are not active on this blog or any other like VisaJourney... So it might happen that with aug 2014 priority dates also get scheduled in april... We never know
DeleteAny year they use spillover rules if not demand in F1 visa
DeleteF1 has a years of backlog which means very high demand.. spill over means to ensure all the f2a visas has been given from the fiscal year quota which means they can 114,200 visas every fiscal year to f2a category not more than that... S0 obama's executive action will make sure every year 114200 visas will be given because every year around 1000 visas has been wasted and there are so many reasons behind that like naturalization or rejection due to lack of supporting documents in interview and slow procedure by applicants even their priority date becomes current
DeleteThere are so many applicants in the F2a category who dont pay NVC fees an DS-260 form until their priority date becomes current because spouse's naturliazation is around the corner in few months ... So it is really hard to predict demand...
DeleteNVC Processing:
ReplyDelete09/16/2014: NVC Recieved
09/23/2014: Case Number and IIN assigned
01/16/2015: Completed DS261
01/20/2015: Paid AOS Fee
01/22/2015: Paid IV Fee
01/27/2015: Completed DS260
02/09/2015: AOS and IV package sent
02/10/2015: AOS and IV package recieved
What your pd
DeleteAll the applicants who had started NVC process plz update about the current activities of your case along with date
ReplyDeleteAll the applicants eagerly waiting for the visa bulletin
DeleteGuys any update about the visa bulletin
DeleteI think it will release today..., hope for a big movement.....
DeleteThere are so many applicants in the F2a category who dont pay NVC fees an DS-260 form until their priority date becomes current because spouse's naturliazation is around the corner in few months ... So it is really hard to predict demand..
ReplyDeleteLet's see they make F2A people happy or not
ReplyDeleteGood News!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteguys can you please help me ? my pd is february 14 2014. Approximately when i would get the welcome notice ?
now i am outside of the US. will it affect on our visa process ? We have a US CITIZEN baby.
Mine is March and I hope I get that letter in 4-5 months. You'll get that probably one month earlier
DeleteOh I forgot to ask! Where is your Service center? Vermont by any chance?
DeleteCalifornia service center
DeleteHi My PD is JAN 2011 EB2 India. May i know when this date gets current, approximately.
ReplyDeleteWhy the VB is late? By the way, I guess the DoS wants to move the cuts-of-dates till Sep13. my PD is 6-Aug13, and that will be a good news for F2A applicants.
ReplyDeleteF2A applicants waiting for the Visa bulletin..., I think there will be some thing good in this bulletin........
DeleteAccording to the source it may move till Sep 2013 for F2A
DeleteWhat source? if that was true, people with August and September PD would have already received interview letter
DeleteI think in April it will move till Sep 2013, in the next bulletin it will move till Jan 2014.... bcoz till Jan 2014 all the F2A applicants had started their NVC process...
ReplyDeleteI had received email from NVC to pay the fee and submit the required documents.., My priority date F2A 08 Jan 2014
DeleteMy friend received email last week to pay IV fees. He's pd is Oct 15.2013
ReplyDeleteHis PD ...
DeleteOct 15 2013
DeletePaying IV fees when the foam is open. Any idea
ReplyDeleteWhy it hasn't been published yet? Damn I hate their system. They don't have any obligation or respect for people who are waiting for their family. This is rally sad
ReplyDeleteMaybe after 3 o'clock
ReplyDeleteHi my pd is 12nov11 i'm in the f2b class how long more you think i have wait?
ReplyDeleteApril bulletin released - http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin/2015/visa-bulletin-for-april-2015.html
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 weeks 01Aug2013, feeling disappointed:)
ReplyDeleteF2A very sad, for how long you will separate our families..., very painful act....
ReplyDeleteF2A is the most important category, they must think about husband and wife, how long they should be separated.., really sad..., all.the days will pass lets wait till next month....
ReplyDeleteVisa Bulletin is out. F2A Cut off Date: August 01, 2013.
ReplyDeleteBulsit system
ReplyDelete@Hardik, what's your prediction for F2A for May 2015 visa bulletin.
ReplyDeleteIf people don't aware about America, remember 100% or fluent in English is not required to live, work , Business in America. You don't aware about this that means you dumb staying in America like other idiots are staying..English is not a must at all to live , work or business here. Go ahead PATEL = Motel + Hotel... Anyone have this power??? any South Idiots (typo South Indians).. Don't worry Hardik, is some one told you HARDICK that's also nice to you.. I don't know why these all dark Brown & slightly BLACK ASSES from S.India have problem with PATEL's or Gujaratis. I noticed a lot.
ReplyDeleteAs an American here, this is bs. If you can't speak correctly, it's better to stay in your country :)
Deletei am also american bs.
Deletebs ,....bc
Deletelol sure you are
DeleteLOL , Desis speaking BS all time nothing else they know as an English language. why don't you guys learn more words during your long term tourist visa (that's H1 & H4).
Deleteanother 1 month i have to wait....!!!! :(
ReplyDeleteBulsit system
ReplyDeleteHey hardik ,did you had your interview?are you only waiting for your priority date?did anybody from dec or jan got your interview letter?
ReplyDeleteNo my case in about 3 months now . Why Dec and January will get interview letter bczz April visa bulletin released 1aug13
ReplyDeleteWhat is your service center?
DeleteSorry my case in nvc about 3 months now
DeleteCalifornia service center
ReplyDeleteF2A sucks, only 1 month!!!.They send letters to folks with PD Jan 2014 but advance the visa bulletin to 01 aug 2013. No one can understand the DOS logic on the visa bulletin. They must be using an Einstein algorithm to calculate the dates.
ReplyDeleteNvc send welcome it's means you have to prepare for next step also it's means that your pd will be close to current. I think May or June it's will be big movement in F2A. I saw every year visa bulletin if visa bulletin moved slowly couple of months such as sep to May after May will be big movement also big movement in July and August. So I hope after 1 months will be good news for F2A
Deletemine is may 14, 2014
ReplyDeleteStill I -130 not approved
Vermont Service Center
In May or June F2A will be January 2014., till Jan 2014 all the applicants had started their NVC process...
ReplyDeleteMy priority date is 08 Jan 2014 I had paid the fee and started the NVC process....I think it will reach Jan 2014 in the next bulletin
DeleteAll the applicants who had started their NVC process now, please update about your case activities along with date....
DeleteIf January 2014 guys pay IV fees after it will be hope to move January 2014 . Please if anyone will get email from nvc to pay IV fees . After its will take 6 to 8weeks to case complete.
DeleteThe last person's PD from Vermont service center still is October, so the next via bulletin can't go further than October.
ReplyDeleteIt's not depend on service center . It's depend on how many cases in nvc now.
DeleteI said PD. Visa bulletin can't reach to Jan while there is still people with pd of October that they cases have not approved yet. So probably next visa bulletin would be moved again ~1 month, not more.
DeleteMy spouse PD is 28 Jan 2014 and case is pending with Vermont service center. I don't understand why it has not been reviewed when more than a year is passed.
DeleteAny suggestion
Every year visa limited visa available in family category so it doesnt mean your case not approval yet than visa bulletin will be move slowly. Let's see your case will approve this month after nvc take 42 days to get your case number. So don't worry if your case pending than don't matter with nvc it's uscis case
DeleteI have good news for F2A Sep 12 2013 case was completed last year but not visa not available for that so . I think next month visa bulletin will be move more than 1 month but I am not sure if January 2014 case will be complet in April so may visa bulletin will be January 2014 or I am sure that after May will be big movement in F2A
ReplyDeleteMarch 12, 2015 at 4:55 AM
can you please help me ? my PD will become current? february 14 2014. or when we can expect welcome letter from NVC?
