F2A January 2015 IV

[SAM1986 2]

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...

thanks PatchSC , for your time and explain to me , so it means there many of people got their visa in Aug and Sept , do you think is there any possibility visa bulletin goes rapidly towards Jan 2014 , being on your experienced and of course you must have done many research to get your dream please let me know some

highly appreciable

i think Visa bulletin should go repidly more then 4 weeks or more because already many people those who are not member of VJ had got their Visas last year in aug 2013 , Any one agree with my silly opinion ?

[vsubish 3]

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.

Hi Philip....

Appreciate your insights here.

But still mate...i just hope & pray...that just like last year we should not get stuck & suffer with any retrogression again....!!!!

[nertilduraku 2]

i dont think we are going to be hit by retrogression in 2015 nor 2016

It might happen there will be retro this 2015 because many applicants whose priority dates earlier than the PD who did not receive NOA 2 yet on I130 like VSC center .....Hoping it will not happen hayssssst Patience is a virtue we all have to wait...???

Well according to the visa bulletin through the years since 1991 there was 7 retrogression's , wich one hit this year in 2014, by all visa bulletins from 1991 we will not have another retrogression in 2015 or 2016 , retrogression happens betwen 5-6 year and maybe more. Also right now they are processing cases from JAN 1 2013 till MAR 22 2013, so they have cleared the 2012 cases (most of them - 99% maybe?) Also it is start of FY2015 so they have avaiable 114,200 visas + those that arent used in F1 category, so they are going slowly but sure so we wont hit again by retrogress. My predictions for Visa Bulletin in Feb 2015 are that they will move by 3 weeks only again, and maybe in March 2015 there will be the same story , 3 weeks movement. But after that we finaly might get some air. But anyway this is just my guessin and information according to all visa bulletins through the years.

Also, for approved cases from VSC yes maybe there will be backlog, but that backlog will be in NVC, they are now processing cases for a very long time, as i know it needs 2 months till you get IV fee invoice number than after that , 2 months again for reviewing cases and in 80% of cases is hited by checklist that means another 2 months for review!

I think that anyone with case closed and priority dates till AUG 2013 will be finished in June 2015. But hey fellas this is my guessing and hopin! nothing official nothing for sure!

is there any link or access or any useful sources to find out how many Visas has been used or left out of 114200 + f1 unused ? how we can calculate this hidden process ?

[nertilduraku 2]

Oh no i dont believe so that there is information like that, but since we are in F2A category wich is for spouses and childrens of LPR, every LPR can have only one spouse and can support only one spouse, looks like there will be 114,200 visas for spouses only, but there are childrens of LPR also so theyr gona eat some visas but anyway i think that around 88000 visas are for f2a spouse

impressive .. 88000 visa for FY 2015 its good enough i guess , along with we need to find some statistics there must be by USCIS or DOS , we can get more closer to our destination at right time agree ?

Bro this is because of the country limit of 7% visas were available but not for your country anymore at that time.

A fact that you always forget in the visa bulletin,

*NOTE: For January, F2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 22FEB13. F2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT MEXICO with priority dates beginning 22FEB13 and earlier than 15APR13. (All F2A numbers provided for MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no F2A numbers for MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)

Mexico eats the whole quota because they don't have any country limit which is the 7%

Do you know how many applicantions are pending for Mexico: 97,262

F2A Coutries waiting list as of November 2014 ,

Total pending: 257,355

Mexico 97,262 37.8%

Dominican Republic 33,436 13.0%

Cuba 13,024 5.1%

Philippines12,687 4.9%

Haiti 10,105 3.9%

All Others 90,841 35.3%

Also only 87,900 per year are avilable for F2A.
