It is my understanding that NVC only schedules interviews if/when a visa number is available. So if our case has moved to the NVC, we might be able to complete it, but if by that time, a visa number is no longer available for our PD, then the interview wont be scheduled. But I could be wrong.

That's the essential question. Does someone know more about it?

You are correct. We will wait until our PD becomes current again, then we will receive I/L.

It doesn't mean that when your case is forwarded to NVC a visa is available for you. That only works for the immediate relatives of US citizens. Not for relatives of LPRs because we are limited by the Visa Bulletin.

I found the following explanation from USCIS website:

How USCIS Processes Retrogressed Visas Cases

If, at the time of adjudication, an applicant’s priority date no longer meets the cut-off date published in the Visa Bulletin, due to retrogression, his or her case must be held in abeyance until a visa once again becomes available. If the adjudication of your Form I-485 will not require an in-person interview at a USCIS office, then your case will be held at the USCIS Service Center where you initially filed your application.

If you have been interviewed at a USCIS office and a visa is not available, then USCIS may hold your case at the following locations until a visa becomes available.

  • Family-sponsored visa retrogressed cases are held at the National Benefits Center (NBC) upon completion of the interview and other processing steps.

USCIS will finalize processing of visa-retrogressed cases when applicants' priority dates become available (current) based on the dates in the current month’s Visa Bulletin. If USCIS needs updated information from an applicant, we may send out correspondence such as requests for evidence or an interview notice. Therefore, it is very important that applicants keep their addresses current with USCIS.

Does this mean if the PD in no longer Current in October, the F2A filers who have already filed I-485 will have to wait until their PD become Current again for USCIS to resume the process?

"Have faith in God, Jesus answered. I'll tell you the truth. if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself to the sea, and that does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. it will be done for him. Therefore I'll tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (MARK 11:22-24)
