Im sorry im not able to update the list. Just started working.congrats on the approvals. For the cases going to nvc they transfer cases from uscis to nvc quite fast lately. I called them two days ago and they already have my husbands case which was approved on jan 21st. Hope vb will be current. Good luck

That's ok about the list update e24. It's great to know that they are transferring cases to the NVC so quickly. Our cases should be there by the end of the month then. I will start calling them the end of the month to see if they have my case.I am also praying that the vb will start moving by next month. All the best:-)

smh....

For the past 6months VSC is known to be slow. I just got lucky my daughters case from

Vsc was transferred to nebraska and my husbands case was approved unbelievably fast. Good luck everyone. Sept filers ate near to their 5months processing time limit. I hope you will have your cases approved soon or else follow it up at uscis. As for me i fear retrogression will come before my daughter's interview and my husbands pd to be current.

Posted

@e24 - yes, your approval was so fast! I remember hoping that that signaled good news for the rest of us! wishful thinking!!

to be honest with you, I'm more concerned with the retrogression at this point as well. Our family has experienced the heartbreak when this happens. you can have your PD current but if your interview is not completed before the retrogression, you are out of luck.

everywhere I am reading, they are predicting a status quo in the F2 ROW category and then retrogression in July 2014.....if this happens, it probably means that there will be no action until Oct 2014 when the new FY visa numbers are released. It is very possible that my priority date (dec 2, 2013) may not become current until the end of 2014/early 2015 cray5ol.gif

hubby and I are going to wait for one more VB (april)...and then if F2a stays the same, we have to re-think some things.
