Is it the reason of VB slowing down for the past few months...

To be honest, I wouldn't mind pay some $165 to help the US get through fiscal cliff as long as VB moves f~a~s~t~e~r

VB does not slow down to get more fee. That is just a funny assumption. They can not stop the flow and annual limit for just for money. US has 16 Trillion debt and our few dollars can not save this country.

it's end of the year, they want salary increase. maybe this fee will make them happy and probably encourage them to work harder/faster.

This fee has been discussed since 2010. Within the US, one has to pay 1000 bucks to adjust the status and get GC. They may have made calculations based on that fact the IVs issued abroad pay lesser fee to DOS to get GC.

The new fee covers of cost of production of GC.

May be to adjust the cost of this new design.

True. Forget about my lame joke on fiscal cliff. Point really is for someone decides to charge more on customers, he/she needs to provide a better services. Apparently, the customers are not h~a~p~p~y

Remember , it is a government that sucks always.

Now it is updated. There are almost 30 F2A in the list of 33 page document.

This is weird! Mumbai consulate has posted interview schedule for January 2013; Only 17 total interviews for the month of Jan-13?

Lets hope this Christmas will bring happiness to all of us moving PD up to November 2012.

As always I think they will start sending interview letter after Christmas i.e starting from 26th of this month.

nope not yet still waiting. PD SEP30 2010

[listeria 14]

DOS published Annual waiting List: F2A waiting list is 220 K FY 2013 compared to 322 K in FY2012. A 32% Decline

Why there is drop in Number of applications-My Predictions are : More naturalization, USCIS slowdown processing of F2A I-130s, many applicants approved but not ready to complete at NVC due to economic and unemployment reasons,

Guys, put forward your views. My guess is that we would continue to see VB move forward up to 6 weeks as predicted for F2A and may be more in the later half of FY2013 to fully utilize the quota or vice-versa.
