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

    2. well at least you get to see them when they visit!:) other people are separate during all process. you could go visit them too, it is not like you cant see them at all. and you are not a bad mom if you are in f1 i bet your kids are olders than 21 so that doesnt make you a bad mother they are old enough haha. but complaining here wont help you at all:/ just visit them.

    4. I would like to explain how much money spend immigrant to send to another country during time waiting for adult children.
      The fly ticket for 2 children every year 2000 and 8 years is 16.000.This money is not spending in US,plus supporting ,plus Christmas gifts,birthday gifts,money help if they are sick,it is many reasons to sent money to different country.
      I think every immigrant waiting for family spend min 50 000. How many immigrants we have and how much money is going do different country.
      Adult children must work and support them self.
      But they are not.
      America lose money because there are there.

    Family-Based, Second Preference "A" (FB2A)

    The sole family-based prediction offered was for the FB2A category, which is for spouses and (unmarried, minor) children of lawful permanent residents. Mr. Oppenheim noted that the FB2A worldwide cutoff date "…is expected to continue to advance slowly. It has been advancing a little faster, to maximize number use during the first three quarters of the fiscal year. There may be a slight slow-down as we move into the final quarter."

    1. It means, no big jump this year..., F2A will move 4 weeks each month.... so sad news

    2. They don't care families, this year they had finished to take a big jump also.., i am really shocked, i think they are in love with 2013 year so they don't want to leave....

    3. I know they had decided 2 year wait time for F2A, treating families as unhuman...

    4. Atlease f2a is moving am f1 with PD 2008 and it not moving

    5. It might not even be 4 weeks movement, as he specifically said it will slow down in the last quarter. So maybe 2 or 3 week movement.

      Delete
  24. Oh my god, it means no big jump this year.., missing family, wait time is killing....

    ReplyDelete
  25. Many people predicted many things, where is unused visas, where is big jump ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Read that

      Even when the DOS and Mr. Oppenheim bring bad news, the information and predictions provided are still appreciated. It is extremely helpful in increasing an understanding of the reasons behind the movement (or lack thereof) of visa bulletin cutoff dates and, more importantly, is useful for developing immigration strategies.Subscribe to the free MurthyBulletin to remain informed regarding future visa bulletin developments.

  35. 05/20/2015: Likely Legislative Activities Ahead to Reform Broken Immigration System by the Congress

    Reports indicate that Republican conservative forces outside of the Congress are increasingly nervous about potential impact of no actions what-so-ever by the current Republican Congress on 2016 presidential election, particularly when the Democratic presidential candidate turning increasing aggressive with the immigration reform platform and ongoing political confrontation between the Obama Administration and the Republican Congress in federal courts with administrative immigration reforms. As affected by these growing pressures, a number of Republican legislators, excluding 20-some Republican presidential candidates, are drafting a number of piecemeal immigration reform legislative bills which are likely to be introduced in the Congress sooner or later. It will be all motivated by the politics and the chances of these bills becoming laws may be not too promising, but this should be taken a wake-up call for the Republican Congressional leaders for their lack of long-term political and legislative strategies to deal with the political dynamics in the upcoming 2016 presidential election.

    1. Yeah. It seems that it may take time fixing the issue. We called them couple of times but the answer is they don't know how long it will take to fix the issue.
      I would suggest to send fees via mail only. In this situation, it is best option rather than waiting. We also paid IV fees via mail only and waiting for DS260 as our case is not updated online since two weeks.

  42. This NVC processing could be frustrating! I was given a checklist on the 27th of April and I did the correction and sent back on the 1st and it got to them on the 4th. Already have 2n/a's, two completed and paid. But AOS was still paid and the checklist was because of it. Since I turned in the correction I never stopped calling to make sure case is reviewed on time but they kept saying it will be reviewed 4th of next month. I didn't give up calling yet, on the 20th I called and they said give 45days......i was like are you serious right now? Every other persons has been saying one month how come you said 45days to review just AOS alone???? On the 22 I called again the lady I spoke with said review completed......i was like wait a minute! When was it review she said 21th I thanked her....then I asked what is my interview date said give me one second.....you are F2A so wait till your pd is current. Yet AOS status is still paid and not n/a. I am still not comfortable with the whole thing planning to call again on the 26th for confirmation of case. This process is killing and she said they are still dealing with September folks based on the visa bulletin. Lord have mercy!!!

I have paid the fees and submitted the documents last week but the online status is only showing AOS fees paid. The link to pay IV fees is still not available. Any idea on this? (Although calling NVC, they replied, they have received our documents and IV fees is also processed.

    1. only reason of asking is - I am still not able to fill DS-260.

    2. If you have ever tried to check your status online recently, you will find out that NVC said something about applicants having difficulties paying online should send things to the embassy where you will be interviewed. Try check your case status and read that stuff.

      Delete
    3. I agree on that and I have checked my case as well but DS-260 is something we need to fill online right? How we are supposed to do that when the status itself is not updated. Does that mean for filling DS-260 I need to contact to the country specific embassy ? I don't think so, but if you have any information, do let me know.. Thanks.

  69. i'm EB3 Philippines. My IV application is completed while my documents is put on hold due to "document cover sheet" was not found in my account. I don't understand why they are having difficulty to post my "cover sheet"- have pity though it's the only thing that is lacking before i will submit my documents to NVC. Yes the technical problem they used to post is relevant due to large amount of documents they entertain however there is desperation inside me because I've waited 8 yrs that our PD become current and hastily made a jump backward over 7 yrs to retrogress the process. Lord Jesus Have Mercy on us. :(

  72. I have filed my case(i130 and 485 together as I'm is US) in F2A category in sep 19 2013. As per June 2015 Bulletin, my priority date is current. I have contacted Local USCIS ofifce and they said the file is witjh NBC since its retrogressed during my inverview(Aug 2014). But I can't contact NBC directly. Does anyone know whats the next step? What if they retrogress again in future? Is there anyway we can get the status on it? USCIS website doens't give any uptodate info, it just says Interview completed.

    1. Hi Aj same situation here. My PD is in the end of sept. Interview got over in feb 2014 and I130 is approved. You need to contact (call the customer service for case status)the USCIS and ask why your application is not approved yet as the priority date is current now. I am going through an attorney so I hope they will do the needful. USCIS doesn't give any updates as the PD was retrogressed during the interview. It sucks. You have plenty of time as the July visa bulletin shows current PD as November 8th. So nothing to worry until next month end. Contact them asap and initiate the approval process.

  73. So, I received the checklist from NVC via email which says; "You must submit the following financial evidence:
    [x] 2014 W-2 forms(s) or IRS Tax Transcript(s)."

    My question is, which is the best approach either resending the W2- forms only and that's it or I refilling the whole I-864 forms and include all financial evidence documents?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Just send what you have to send, you can download and print the transcript from here. Don't forget to send back the checklist along with the IRS trascript.

    2. Thanks for the reply. However, currently the transcripts are not available online so I have ordered it through mail where it takes 5-10 days.
