March Case Complete waiting for IL

[ny_a&p 7]

Our case was completed on March, 28th.

We have done everything we could to avoid any delay in our process, and we are now extremely worried about the retrogression. I can't even think about the possibility of not being with my husband this year. We have been waiting so long and this whole thing is just so unfair and doesn't make sense at all... I really hope we all get the interview letters soon.

Good luck everyone!

Come on guys do not panic, inshallah there will be no retrogression in May for F2A. This article from AILA says so and they are well connected to DOS.

F2A Category: Fiscal Year 2014 Movement

The AILA Department of State Liaison Committee has been informed by the State Department that due to the demand of F2A visas by Mexican nationals, the Mexico F2A visa preference category is expected to retrogress in the spring of FY2014.

If the return rate for this visa category decreases, the retrogression may come sooner than spring of FY2014. There is a 50% return rate worldwide for F2A visas which may be due to the fact that some applicants will convert to Immediate Relative visas in order to take advantage of the Provisional Waiver Program or some marriages may terminate before the visa is available.

DOS also anticipates that the F2A worldwide visa preference category will retrogress by the last quarter of FY2014. DOS will include visa retrogression predictions in future visa bulletins.

This means that F2A category for spouses and children of permanent residents is likely to retrogress around July 2014 for World-wide, India, Philippines and China category and in early 2014 for Mexico.

Sukhi, I too was generally referring to the R word entire discussion. not yours perticularly.

You and KArio & other people on here give out positivity and hope, which I guess everyone really needs right now.

Stay blessed.

Be positive. Can you give me a link about what you shared because from the start i thought that even though your case completed and retrogression strikes you will not be given a visa unless your ceac states ISSUED. I read somebody was already interviewed but did not received a visa because there is no available one. Anybody here that can enlighten me?

[NewDawn 4]

Guys please lets not talk about retrogression.

It's really panicking everyone and dashing our hopes.

We have waited so long to be with our loved ones lest just keep praying to God.

All will be well soon inshallah

[sf786 22]

Think posirive so everything will be good. Stay away from negativity thats retrogression. Its just......scary!

San Jose, Costa Rica.

I'm hoping they schedule our interview on May, the sooner the better I called NVC and they told me it depends on the embassy.

Best Wishes!
