Have the same sentiments here. PD is Sept 24, 2013. Hoping for a current PD this May VB. ;)

PD: Sept. 24, 2013

NOA1 = Sept. 25, 2013

NOA2 = Dec. 13, 2013

NVC Stage:

Received case # = Feb. 23, 2015

AOS fee bill generated and paid = Feb. 24, 2015

DS-261 generated and filled = Mar. 1, 2015

-- we called NVC for an inquiry since we can't access DS-260.. they requested us to send the docs..

Docs submitted via UPS = Mar. 10, 2015

We haven't received any message yet from NVC if they have received our documents already. What will be our next step?

Goodluck to all of us!

We have the same P.D. You would get the e-mail soonest. As long as your e-mail addresses are correct, NVC would send the e-mail, they sent mine 2 days after, check my timeline. Good luck

Your next step would be to wait for IV fees to be invoiced, once it is invoiced, wait for the payment to clear, then you can access DS-260 as soon as IV fees shows paid. Your documents are already at NVC, then the wait for case completion continues.... Good luck

Next I went inside for body and bag checking
Then I proceed to :
Step 1.finger print scanning and the woman asked me DS260 confirmation
page andAppoinment letter she wrote something on it and returned it to me
.And then she told me to go directly to step 2.
waiting time 2 minutes only before step 2
Step 2.Pre Screening Filipino consul.
He asked me the following documents because we only sent a xerox
copy to NVC.
:NSO Birth Certificate

:Medical report
I submitted all those documnets
Questions

B.Who is your petitioner?
C.When did you get married?
D.when was the last time he visited you.?
E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions
Questions:
A.Your Full name and date of Birth?

E.what is your husband's job?
F.where does he work?
G.when did you get married?
H.how did you know each other?
I.what is his adress?
J.how many times he visited you ?
And that's all she said ( well everything looks good you may now go to step
5 for releasing.And then I said thak you very much!!!
Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you
have fill out all the details for delivery of your visa pocket.
And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,
All you have to do guys just be honest for every details everything will be

Ya may be but the visa bulletin movements does not depends on that Becoz Nvc does not consult with USCIS (specially VSC) that how many applications are pending in VSC... NVC just move the dates in visa bulletin on the basis of how many case they recieved... One of my friend's cousin PD was somewhere in 2010 in f2a category and he didnt get approval from VSC for i130 when her priority date became current. So she had to wait couple of months to her case to be complete after her priority date became current.And if VSC will start work on October PDs then after the i130 approval it takes around 3 months for case to transfer to NVC So the visa bulletin will freeze on October for 3 months this doesnt make sense... I am calling NVC today coz most of PD jan 2014 guys recieved welcome letter and mine is feb 2014.. I will let you guys know,,
