As I mentioned before, we can roughly predict Visa Bulleting cut-offs by following Visa Bulletin 2012 which is so similar to this year's pattern so far!

http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/family-preference-cut-off-dates/Cut-off_Dates_worldwide_online.pdf

According to that I think we wont have any significant jump in cut-offs until April 2015! (Sadly)

You are not alone....friend..!!!!!|

I always feel lost, dis-heartened, painful every time this VB comes out and just tired of hoping for something good to come out in these VB's.

Sometimes i also feel..is there nobody out there to help us with this pain..of separation from our loved ones.......!!!! :cry: :cry:

There are still many late 2013 filers that haven't got approved just yet mostly at VSC and if they move it that fast then another ridiculous workload will increase again and they for now at NVC are still working on the backlogs as you can see the newly increased review time from 30 to 60 days. Let alone the data base issue that occurred months ago. They are surely haven't catch up yet so i don't expect the VB to move faster at least for the next few months. It will continue to move steadily , slowly but surely.

Again you are right at least move it should more than 3 weeks movement , that kinda suck tbh 4/5 weeks movement seem fair.

Given the fact that Mexico cut off date rapidly advance and it's going to catch up with ROW cut off date i think it's a good sign. We will see what's going to happen.

when the VB went Current for F2A in Sept 2013, most of our cases (for example mine,PD 21MAY2013) were still under the ¨initial review¨ at Vermont Service Center (USCIS). it was until Nov 4, 2013

that my case was Approved and until Dec 2013 to get to NVC, where we pay all the fees, sent the documents.. My case got completed by March 2014 (at this point the VB was at 8SPT2013, my PD was current) but they didn´t schedule a IV for me, neither the months after... and my case got stuck with the Retrogression to cases of 2012 in June 2014,

similar to my case, are a lot more others... who we´ve been ¨patiently¨waiting for our PDs to become current, get our IV date scheduled and someday in the near future reunite with our families...
