Aww hun I am so sorry to hear that you got caught up in this retro with a case

complete. I would be so mad if I was in your position. The funny thing about

it is that people who filed their petition months after you did, we able to

get through the hold process before the retro. Just to show you how unfair

this whole system is. I am really hoping for rapid movement starting in

Oct too but I just have a feeling they will move forward slowly.

Good luck, pray for me and I will pray for you. All the best:-)

Yes my friend same way at NVC since September with AOS issues finally Case Complete April 2014 and nothing nothing retrogression. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh PD June 2012. Imagine. Been telling her about this possible good news but I understand you all not getting too excited. Its a wish to hope thing.

Absolutely no. What happened last year was unusual. Look at all the VBs for prior months and years. The PD for the F2a category was recently rolled backed by more than a year to reduce the number o

All of us F2As are facing the same pain of being away from our love ones. The agony of waiting every month and hoping that the Visa bulletin will move is very stressful. But what can we do? Where

Look guys, there are not a lot of F2A's left from 2012, they would have retrogressed further if they had been. I honestly believe, if you look at October stats from previous years, they always jump ah

This predictions will be available every month now for public on www.murthy.com before publishing VB.

Read below.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has announced that it will now begin to issue a report each month intended to provide reliable predictions and analysis regarding the movement of cutoff dates in the visa bulletin. These reports will be based on discussions with Charles Oppenheim, Chief of the Visa Control and Reporting Division, U.S. Department of State (DOS), following the release of each month's visa bulletin.

Thank you for the information.

I already read the rest of the article,

Family Second Preference "A" (FB2A) Likely to Advance Soon

Chief Oppenheim predicts that the long-stagnant FB2A cutoff dates will move forward in September 2014. As of the August 2014 Visa Bulletin, the FB2A cutoff date stands at March 15, 2011 for Mexico, and May 1, 2012 for all other countries of chargeability. In the upcoming September 2014 Visa Bulletin, these dates could advance, "possibly as far as late fall 2012."

This predictions I feel means December 2012 on September Visa Bulletin, I hope so "In Sha Allah" that's a good movement.

Fall starts in September in the US. Late Fall for VB could mean end of November, or about middle of December, if one is too optimistic.

i agree:)

If this is true and usually Mr. Oppenheim is, I am about to lose my mind. My PD is June 2012. I could possibly be with my wife in a couple of months.

I think you should be by now having an interview letter if it's gonna move, usually they send it 2 months prior.
