April Case Complete waiting for IL

[Phillip Kazuto 28]

It's appear that retrogression is going to hit June as only 2 of our F2A folks get Interview Date and their P.D is 2011 which is way too old that won't affect by retrogression.

Hope it's not true....there are still 10-15 days to go...come on NVC ,You can do it !

Ima call everyday...i have no more patience..been waiting for so long.

Now I think that even if our worst predictions happen, its not the end of the world, we still have other options, our loved ones can come back for as much as 6 months, even 2 yrs, or we can try b2 visa to visit them for some time. Anyway, i hope we all get our il-its the easiest option for all of us...

Hi,

I read a recent news on this...very much disappointing &

Visa Bulletin Predictions and Comments by Charles Oppenheim – EB-2 India to Advance, Finally (April 2014)

April 29th, 2014

On behalf of our clients and readers we are always trying to obtain any reliable information on the movements in the cutoff dates for the upcoming Visa Bulletins. The best source of this information is the Mr. Charles Oppenheim who is the Chief of the Visa Control and Reporting Division at the U.S. Department of State and who is actually the person responsible for the monthly and annual visa number allocations for family- and employment-based green cards. Mr. Oppenheim had just recently shared some thoughts about the anticipated cutoff date movements in the next few Visa Bulletins and we are happy to share this information with our clients and readers.

Visa Bulletin Predictions – Family-Based

Additionally, Mr. Oppenheim was able to provide some predictions and expectations for movement of visa numbers over the next few months for the family-based categories as well.

FB-2A. Demand is starting to increase; as a result, FB-2A Mexico will retrogress soon. FB-2A ROW is also likely to retrogress, perhaps back to 2012 in the June or July 2014 Visa Bulletin.

FB-2B. Due to low demand currently, additional forward movement is expected.

Note on Timing of NVC Fee Invoices

Mr. Oppenheim noted that the National Visa Center (NVC) is sending our requests for fee payments about 8 to 12 months in advance of the priority date becoming current (this is change to the previous practice of doing so 12-18 months in advance). When applicants pay the fee earlier after receipt of the fee invoice, Mr. Oppenheim is able to “see” the demand earlier and adjust the demand in the category accordingly, eliminating the need of major forward movement, followed by a retrogression.

Conclusion

Mr. Oppenheim’s comments are extremely helpful to get a sense of the visa cutoff dates over the next few months. We understand, as Mr. Oppenheim does, that his comments and predictions would give hope to some, while disappoint others. Our EB-2 India clients would find Mr. Oppenheim’s predictions encouraging given the fact that there was no movement in EB-2 India for a long time. A forward movement in this category would allow EB-2 India and China applicants to become eligible to file I-485 applications who would later be eligible to take advantage of AC21 portability rules and take new employment and more freely advance their careers.
