Bad News: F2A retrogression !!!!!!

[Miami_Boy 9]

I would like to know what will happen if your case is not complete yet but a visa was already assigned to the case, will they take the visa away?

@lynn12,

First of all, it is hard to find what stage the visa# allocated to the case number. If we all knew that Visa# has been assigned to the case, we not need to worry, even our interview will schedule another 3-4 months later. As i believe, NVC doesn't assign any visa#. Yes it is from DOS/USEM OVERSEAS.

Well i spoke to someone from NVC last night because RFE has been making my life miserable. I kindly asked her if my husband had a visa number already on his file, she told me yes he does but she don't know if the retrogression will change that

If your husband's case already assigned visa# then its nothing to do with retrogression. Retrogression only for those whose visa number hasn't been assigned yet. I think you good to go. I also suggest you to ask different operator about your visa number for extra sure

uscis and nvc gave to everyone visa numbers because they started processing all cases by nvc, they just collected our money from us and did put back priority dates.

[Miami_Boy 9]

uscis and nvc gave to everyone visa numbers because they started processing all cases by nvc,

How do say that above line? Do you have legit information from secret site of USCIS/NVC? I am trying help VJE'rs who doesn't know if visa number has been assigned to our case file....Man we're in Dark room>>! If you shed some light on it..please tell us details about your resource, atleast we could relief sometimes

[RICARDO4EVA2 194]

uscis and nvc gave to everyone visa numbers because they started processing all cases by nvc

Thar's not correct

[Miami_Boy 9]

I just called DOS(202-663-1225), I have asked about my case is any visa number has been attached to my case yet or not. Since i have been talking all these retard NVC operator, didn't get the right answer from them. Today I got answer for all of us:

VISA NUMBER ALLOCATED FOR CP PROCESSING:

VISA NUMBER IS SET BY ACCORDING TO PRIORITY DATE. IF YOUR CASE COMPLETED BY NVC, NVC ONLY SCHEDULE YOUR INTERVIEW DATE. EVEN DOS WILL NOT ASSIGNED VISA NUMBER TOO. IT IS AUTOMATICALY SET BY ACCORDING TO PRIORITY DATE. IT IS LIKELY LOTTERY FOR US NOW. DOS ALSO INFORMED THAT RETROGRESSION WILL EFFECT EVERYBODY'S PRIORITY DATE. SO IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT ANSWER FROM NEXT MONTH FOR ALL OF US WHO'S PRIORITY DATE IS NOT CURRENT. IT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE NOT TO GETTING ANY INTERVIEW SCHEDULE FURTHER.

WHOEVER GOT THE INTERVIEW DATE ON JANUARY, BUT PRIORITY DATE IS NOT AVAILABLE, THEY HAVE CHANCE 50/50.DEPENDS ON EMBASSY AND CASE BY CASE.

WHOEVER DOESN'T SCHEDULE FOR VISA INTERVIEW, THEY HAVE ONLY 10%-15% CHANCE TO GETTING SCHEDULE INTERVIEW.

SO PRAY HARD AND HARD AND HARD TO GET EVERYBODY'S PRIORITY DATE BECOME CURRENT ON FEBRUARY VISA BULLETIN.

THIS IS ANOTHER BAD NEWS FOR US FROM AILA:

The Department of State's (DOS) January 2011 Visa Bulletin retrogressed the cut-off dates for a number of family-based categories (AILA Doc. No. 10120964). Immigrant visa applicants who have cut-off dates that retrogress on January 1, 2011, must complete their immigrant visa processing and have their immigrant visas issued on or before December 31, 2010. DOS cannot issue an immigrant visa as of January 1, 2011, unless the applicant meets the January Visa Bulletin's newly-established cut-off dates.

The DOS Visa Office (VO) allocates blocks of visa numbers to posts for their use each month. The allocations represent applicants who have been reported as documentarily qualified and eligible for an interview during that month, based on the newly-established cut-off dates. The allocated numbers are not reserved for applicants whose cases cannot be finalized and issued during the original month of allocation/interview. At the end of the month, posts are required to return any unused numbers to VO, which are reincorporated into the pool of visa numbers available for future allocation. Applicants are always subject to the cut-off date that applies to their visa category at the time when visa issuance could occur. Therefore, if the immigrant visa cannot be approved by the end of December, applicants will need to wait until the priority date is within their established cut-off date to receive their immigrant visas.

BOY, I AM STUNNED!! ANOTHER YEARS AND YEARS...GOD DOESN'T LISTEN TO US ANYMORE.... :bonk:
