Congrats to everyone who just got a transfer! You should receive three electronic notices. You can disregard the content of these; every transferred petition since March has received these same three

Does anyone have an idea about the March visa bulletin 2014, because when I call to nvc they said their is no visa to issue, my PD is 29/10/2013 when is some updates in VJ I saw the PD like after 08 September 2013 got the visa numbers. I’m so depressed and I’m missing my husband so much.

I got my visitor’s visa B1/B2 visa type and I went to USA for 1 month and I came back to my home because we receive a letter from NVC that they received our petition from USCIS. And I was so happy, but now to see our priority dates not been current.

I have multiple visa for 5 years but the main problem is the money, to me to travel to USA it’s take 23 hours and my tickets cost like $1350 (My monthly salary is also $300 in sri lanka) and I can’t trouble to my husband for everything. He also got his job recently. And he spend lot of money for one month of my stay in USA. I know we are all helpless. But anyway if you guys have ay idea about the next current date for March 2014 visa bulletin.

Thank you.

Both my I-130 and I-129F cases were transferred to California earlier this month. My I-129F case got updated for RFE two days ago.

Is this normal for the I-129F case to get looked at first, because I don't understand why a "temporary approval" would be more worth the USCIS time when the I-130 case packet is right there with it.

Thank you.

March bulletin is not out yet and if you are spouse of permanent resident, you would fall under F2A preference category (I think, not an expert on this) and for Sri Lankan national, Feb 2014 bulletin was a cutoff date of PD 8 Sept 2013. Wait to see what happens in March bulletin http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html (not sure when it comes out...maybe towards end of the month). Good Luck

THIS IS ABSURD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the risk of getting yelled by the folks on your forum...

only CSC filers are getting approved.

and that is because CSC is almost done with all of july (RFEd or approved).

CSC is surging ahead to August so USCIS can reduce backlogs - as an inadvertant result of this, CSC transferres from August are being approved at 6+ months.
