It is bad, because you get visa only if your PD is earlier then the cut-off date posted in Visa Bulletin. Possible retrogression means that cut-off date in November Visa bulletin might become earlier

Ok based on what I researched, a gov shutdown will not close the embassies. Service to us citizens are available, but no interview will be conducted as Visa issue is not possible. So we are kind of screwed. Maybe that's why they haven't scheduled anything. I guess they are waiting to see what is going to happen

Thanks for research!

The shutdown talk happens every year. Hopefully the actual shutdown is not going to happen or in worst case will not last longer then it was in 95/96 ~ 28 days according to Wiki.

It's only the 28th and you are panicking? rofl.gif

NVC has (in the past) given out I/L during the 1st up to the 2nd week of the month.

Nothing to worry. no0pb.gif

We are just doing what the thread name tells us - "prediction".

What KiwiPouPou said is one of the possible scenarios: NVC is waiting for shutdown situation to be cleared.

Congratz!!!

This is only the beginning. It usually takes 2-4 weeks for your case to be received and processed in NVC. After that NVC will assign you a case number. The first three letters of the number will be your embassy code. After that. 7-10 days, they will send you an invoice of $88 for the affidavit of support form I-864 (Check to see if you are eligible to fill out the EZ edition which is the simple one). Read the instructions and have it ready. Once you get the invoice, use the case and invoice number and access the ceac website. Pay the fee and print out the coversheet. Next step is to send in your documents. Payments usually gets accepted in 3 days. After that depending on your PD date, they will send you another fee which is the IV fee of ~240. Do the same as AOS, pay and gather all of the docs and send int the physcial documents and translations. You also need to fill out DS-260 form (which is online and available on the ceac website).

After this it is usually 20-30 days to review all of the submitted documents. If no issue is observed by NVC, you will get your case complete.

To give you an estimate, my I-130 submission was Jan 2012. USCIS accepted my case in June 2013. Got my fees in July and sent in all of the docs in first week of August. I got my case complete on Sept .6th. I have not heard anything back for Nov in terms of interviews. Crossing my fingers for Nov. otherwise I have to wait for Dec.

Good luck

Hope we can get our I/L this week. In God we trust.

Some people here tell me that I need to chill out but I am a bit worried of this Gov. shutdown. Government is already inefficient in doing its work. Just top that with a shutdown. I hope this dont affect us. Keeping the fingers crossed. ;)
