Question about possible interview and priority date

[Mary_Sue123 0]

I'm over 21, and my father is a US citizen. He petitioned for me and my priority date is July 2009. I submitted all my documentation to the NVC recently and received 2 correspondence e-mails. The first e-mail was a checklist, which essentially told me that they needed some additional information and that I could take it directly to the interview (when scheduled). The second e-mail basically said that I was in queue for an interview. However, when I called the NVC today, the representative said that my priority date is July 2009 and for F1 they are currently issuing visas for August 2008. Does this mean that I have to wait another 11 months for an interview (august '08 until july '09) ?

Thank you Jawaree. To be honest, I was devastated when I found out that I may have to wait another 11 months. I'm really hoping this is not the case... but have no way of finding out either?

UPDATE: Okay, so here's something new I discovered that MAY be the source of my confusion. My priority date is July '09. When I click on the current month's visa bulletin, I see two different charts. For F1, the first chart shows a cut-off date of 22SEP08. According to this chart, my priority date is not current. There is another chart right below this one, however, which states the current cut-off date of 01OCT09. Keeping in mind that my priority date is July '09, will my priority date for an interview be based on the 22SEP08, or 01OCT09 ?? I ask because according to the first chart, my PD is not current for an interview, whereas according to the second chart, my PD is current for an interview. Please help... this is stressing me out

Well the bulletin usually moves anywhere fro 4 to6 weeks each month so yes figure 10 to 12 month wait to be current then you will be assigned an interview.

Nothing can happen until our PD is current. So just sit back and wait. Sorry.

Thank you for your reply @dwheels76. I have the following two questions:

(1) I received an e-mail which stated that interviews are generally scheduled within 60 days of receipt of all documents at NVC. Would you happen to know why it would say that if I'm expected to wait another 10-11 months?

(2) The letter (mentioned in question 1) does not say the words "case complete". Is this normal?

I know many people who got case complete and still waited over a year for an interview to be assigned. It happens. The letter is the standard letter we all get when we have Case complete.

No it doesn't say Case Complete. Yes that is normal. But if you read it it's case complete because it says you are now in queue for interview. Now you must wait for your PD to become current.

Keep checking the bullentin. Good luck.
