I completely agree. My PD is about a month after yours. Same boat - NOA 1 received and it hasn't been touched since. Applicants with CSC will not get how many in VSC feel. At least the fact that you've even reached the NVC stage means your application is moving. It's one less thing for you to worry about once the priority date gets closer to being current. Whereas, for the past year, I have seen no movement, no news, no updates and no peace wondering when the application will move. My honest feeling and personal prediction (based on current movement) is that:

1. The priority date will reach December 2013 around the September 2015 visa bulletin.

2. A lot of us who are stuck with VSC will start seeing approvals in the next 2 months.

2.a. My basis for this is that (again personal opinion) as the visa bulletin comes within a 4-6 month gap of one's priority date, the VSC will start approving and sending out NOA 2s

3. After May's Visa Bulletin - There may be about a one month skip in the bulletin - I actually used a prior year's VB to estimate this

Again those are my personal feelings on what "may" happen and in no way represents any factual evidence or definite progress towards our journeys.

I can only pray that at the end of this journey, we live humbly and wake up thankful for each day as only we know individually the struggle and challenge of being apart and facing each day. I for one, always dream about the moment my wife will walk through the gates for the first time as a permanent resident and that I'll be walking right beside her.

But until the June VB, seems like the movement will be at an average 2-4 weeks. Good luck to all and please - August to December filers, please post when you receive your NOA2s, especially those who are stuck with VSC!

I totally agree with you Munafn....I hope ur prediction comes true...I am a November 2013 filer and i got a feeling that may be by next month we could see some movement in VSC processing dates...since they moved from Sep 23 to Sep 30 2013 as posted yesterday.

I am about 6 months from becoming current and my petition is still stuck at VSC...so if they move 3 weeks or 4 weeks for next few months definitely we will be closer to become current. In this case VSC has to process the files pending coz Oct 2013 filers are within the 6 month period from becoming current. So i think next month we could see something happening......Best luck to all who are stuck .....

Anyone who already access the ds-261 for f2a dec 2013 pd?

Hello,

Most late September fliers have not been able to pay fees, maybe we would be able to do that before March ending. I called NVC last week and was told they have not commenced processing my case. Another September flier with an earlier P.D called and was told within 28 days he would receive notice to continue the process. Am hoping March VB would advance upto JULY. Am certain soonest we can start the process.
