I-130Approved.. what's next?

[danielenglish 3]

I personally am under the F2A category...unfortunately

P.S. to be precise, the letter I received from the embassy - in the block named CLASSIFICATION - says "203(a)(2)(A) Spouse - F2 - 1".

I guess it is the same of saying just "F2A", right?

If your spouse is a green card holder, then yes you are F2A.

I am a green card holder and she is the beneficiary

So, basically, under my circumstances, that big "code" (203(a)(2)(A) Spouse - F2 - 1) only means .. F2A

Many thanks, rituparnabivas.

Of course, the NVC will send my petition back to the american embassy - where I filed it - only when my Priority Date becomes current.

Is that correct?

When your priority date becomes current your petition will left NVC and that will be sent to the American consulate at the beneficiary's country. The consulate will be responsible for interview and issuance of immigrant visa.

Hello yannix, thanks a lot for your reply.

I would like to ask you for some clarification..

It is not very clear to me when you say "in your NOA1, there's a priority date field".

I mean, the only thing I can see in the letter they sent me is a space where it says: "DATE PETITION FILED - April 9, 2014" which I guess is my NOA1.

I believe we are talking about the same thing but .. in a slight different way, but better be sure

I meant NOA2. There's a field called priority date in there. It should match (or a few days after) the NOA1 DATE PETITION FIELD you mentioned.

The other thing is: when you say that "you won't get an interview until the bulletin's cutoff date is on/after your priority date", you mean later (more recent) and not after.

Is that correct?

Yes the visa bulletin should have a date later than your priority date for you to get an interview.

One last thing, somewhere in the forum I read the following: "The VB advanced 1 yr and 9 months last august 2013 then got stuck for 7months, now, it retrogressed 1yr and 4months".

Well, in light of that consideration, I really don't understand the "logic" of the VB .. if it has a logic

There's some logic but the data they use is delayed by a good month or two so they add a bit of prediction to it. It's really just used to make they sure the work is constant and they have enough visa numbers to last the whole year. Edited May 29, 2014 by yannix

This is irrelevant to a priority date discussion -- if the priority date is not current, then there is nothing to expedite until it is current. Sorry.

It could take up to 8 weeks for NVC to issue the case number.
