If you have not done it, please remember to add or update your I-130/NVC/I-140/I-485 case in the GC tracker: http://www.mygcvisa.com/ tracker/
It would be very useful to understand how USCIS is currently processing cases. It would also help in estimating date movements in future visa bulletin.
We will update this table as we get more data from USCIS. If you are interested, the dates above are based on following data:
- Latest I-130/I-140/I-485 Processing Statistics (see link on right side) -->
Similar to EB3 category movement, we have added a blog post for EB2 category forward movement. Please click here for FB category.
Next Steps: If priority date is current and
1. If applicant is inside US, they will have to file I-485: http://blog.mygcvisa.com/2013/04/how-to-file-i-485-application.html
2. If applicant is outside US, it will be sent to NVC: http://blog.mygcvisa.com/2013/09/nvc-consular-processing-steps.html

F2A will move more than the prediction in may bulletin
ReplyDeleteplease do for EB3 India. Please remove backlog from EB3 India.
ReplyDeleteIt won't help your EB3 backlog by posting in this blog. Adopt twitter facebook and reach out to your local congressmen with respect to H.R 213, Obama EAD for 140 and GC recapture measures. It will definitely help EB based immigration.
DeleteOMG, F2A is only 4 weeks advance
ReplyDeleteOnly 4 weeks, I will expect more than that, because In August 2013 VB Sept filer completed your process, It was current then there was retrogress, so they only wait visa avaible in coming months.

ReplyDeleteHi guys,
ReplyDeleteMy pd 20 march 2014 still my case not approved from Vermont SC. Pls help me what i can do.
mine is also at vermont SC..
Deletekilling movement ..yukk
My PD is march 10th, 2014. Don't worry about that. No one for it from Vermont service center since October 2013, and it rally doesn't matter when you get that letter. The only important thing is you PD. But anyway, my guess is we will get our letter probably in 4 or 5 months.
DeleteMine took 1year 5months to aprove so dont get worried pd oct 2013
DeleteDon't worry I heard that they approved Dec 9, 2013 cases .
ReplyDeleteyou are talking about Swati Patel's case right?
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteWhen does NVC start sending interview letters to applicants for the embassy appointment?
ReplyDeleteFirst week of month
Deletequestion?
DeleteDo you get interview letter the month before priority date is current,the month it is current or the month after it is current.
The month before.
DeleteAny news abt vermont f2a india with pd november 2013?? Plz reply..
ReplyDeleteNo one give and for that bczz we don't know how they work . I just know they approve case by limitation every year
DeleteI got an email that they're transferring my case from Vermont to another service center due to Vermont working load. It seems finally they are working on Vermont case numbers. My PD is march 10th 2014
ReplyDeleteHi aaron that is great. When you got the email.
DeleteJust this morning. I think they'll do this with other cases in Vermont too
Deletehi i check my case status today it seems "Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction" what it is ment by i am so tensed. my pd 27 march 2014 vermont SC.
DeleteApparently we'll get a mail that explains the reason. My guess is they're doing this because of the working load in Vermont sc and I consider thus as a good sign off course. We probably are going to get our approval letters in 2 or 3 months.
DeleteHi,
DeleteMe too got mail today regarding case transfer from Vermont.. My PD is July 2014. Lets all hope the best.
Hi, I just got email from USCIS that my case got transferred to another office for processing. My PD is January 17, 2014. Is this a good news, about any indication of future movement of Visa Bulletin?

DeleteFor those of you that have received case transferred emails, it is mostly good news. It appears that the Vermont center has not approved any I-130 petitions in almost an year where as California center as approved them quickly (my I-130 was approved in 20 days in April 2014 from California service center). Looks like NVC is getting ready to send further processing emails to F2A with PD Jan to Mar 2014 applicants. They need the I-130s approved prior to that. If my guess is correct all those I-130 that are being transferred will be approved within next 30 days. Good luck.
DeleteI received an email that my case is trnfrd to another service center
DeletePd 14th may,2014
Hope will get approved
How long it will take to be?
Maybe it's take 1months
