An advice to all that is not a current date or to all that knows that will be a long time to wait.

live your life. forget about it for now.

don´t look at visa bulletin for now.

My last denied visa to USA (as tourist) was in 1999 and just now I gonna have opportunity to go.

Many years suffering and waiting... So now the time has almost come.

But years before would be different, now I do not have the same feeling, the same passion.

1997 - first try to get VISA (tourist)

1998 - second

1999 - third

2006 - application to USCIS - I130

2010 - NCV

2012 - I got VISA tourist and went for 30 days

2013 - Almost Current

???? - GO legally

I can relate to this feeling, after some many years, it's hard to keep the excitement about living in the US

There is nothing in the last vb that indicated that we would be experiencing delays. + 5 weeks movement is coming guys stop stressing yourself. Remember for our cat we on average tend to get ILs on or

True, but have their lives really been any better for it? Yes, they've been IN America, but they haven't been able to move freely or go back home to visit friends and family, for wedding and funerals

But if they keep moving at that pace F1 cutoff dates are going to be behind F2B cutoffs dates, which doesn't make much sense, considering it's possible to convert from F2B (resident) to F1 (citizen).

However, most of their stuff doesn't make much sense :hehe: For example, if you look at Philippines, F1 cutoff is 01JUN99 while F2B is 08SEP02, making many people downgrade their application from F1 to F2B. Weird. I'm not sure if there's a specific reason for their particular case though.

How does one downgrade from F1 to F2B?

Basically what you are saying is that a petitioner(sponsor) gives up her/his Citizenship for Permanent Residency?

Hmmm !!?!?!??!?? :huh:

what is current waiting time for F1...????

From start to finish around 7 years, for now.

No Patientman I think if you are a Premanent resident and you filed you should not upgrade to citizenship status so as to keep ur relatives as F2B

F2A I mean.. using my phone so unable to edit

:thumbs: That makes more sense. :)

Grace, thank you for your reply. What about the P4 packet please? Have the Embassy/NVC sent it to you yet? I remembered they did not in the first place.

Oh yes. I wrote to them and they sent it via email and I got it about 5 days after email contact via the post...

Patientman :) I really wonder about it sometimes I would think citizens children would be way ahead.. But it's good that at least one category will work fast...:)

that 7 year waiting is just ridiculous!

Hi guys, i would like to share my experience in the embassy with you. It was a 1 min thing. I gave them my new documents that were required, like certificates, tax returns etc and waited for the interview. After 5 min the oficer called my name . She asked me 1- how many brothers and sister i have . 2- when did my mom went to usa 3- where does she live 4- will i live in the same city. Than she said : congratulations , your visa is aproved and within 7 days will send you the passport . That was all. I am so happy after 7 years of waiting finally got my visa and be with my family again.
