congratulations brother.

Can you tell me after how many months did you received the interview call after receiving the approval that all your documents are approved and you need to wait for the interview 

Thank you!

7 weeks after our priority date became current on NVC visa bulletin in final action category.

So basic path for file is File gets submitted at USICS -> File Approved by USICS -> After approval , file sent to NVC for processing -> PD becomes current in second chart in VB -> NVC Sends Welcome letter to start processing -> Petitioner / Applicant submits docs/ fill forms including Affidavit of support -> Case gets completed at NVC -> PD Becomes current in first chart -> Interview -> VISA

 

So currently you should have received confirmation/notice from USICS that your file is submitted. On it you will find the receipt number (The receipt number consists of three letters-for example, EAC, WAC, LIN, SRC, NBC, MSC or IOE-and 10 numbers. You can find it on notices of action USCIS has sent you) . You can check the status online / call the USICS to check whether it's approved or not. Normally after approval USICS sent the Approval notice too. 

Hi there-

sorry for still being very unclear about this topic.

My relatives have a PD of 11/27/2006 and a receipt number with WAC in the beginning as well. We paid the fees for $190.00 back then. The NVC#is HCM.....(Country of Vietnam).

My mom lost the welcome letter probably since we don't have records of it now, do you think I can retrieve that letter? I'm not sure if my Mom filled out the affidavit of support at all back then! I tried asking the NVC but didn't get a response from them via email.

 

I looked on the visa bulletin and for May 2019 the PD is October 2006.

For June 2019 the PD is December 2006.

I don't see anything for November and thus far we haven't received any letters from the NVC yet!

 

I emailed them, and this is their response:

 

"Unfortunately, we are unable to predict when this petition will be eligible for further processing. The petition is currently not eligible for further processing due to numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law.

 

The petition will be retained at the NVC until an immigrant visa becomes available. The petitioner, principal applicant, or attorney of record will be notified when this petition is eligible for further processing.  The principal applicant should not make any firm plans such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time.  For additional information, please review the explanation of numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance below."

 

Thanks

You'll get the NVC invoice number soon, just need to wait until June. Might be a good idea if you just call NVC in the next couple of weeks.

You will receive Welcome letter from NVC after they start processing your file.

 

Is your date already crossed in Vb ? If yes which char 1st or 2nd ?

 

For welcome letter , it takes some time sometimes upto 2 months for NVC to send welcome letter. But I will suggest to call NvC and make sure your email id is updated in their system else physical leyter takes 6 months to reach home.

Hi Pink_niru

 

My date hasn't been called out on the Visa Bulletin (VB) yet. It's showing up as May on the bulletin board.

 

 

I guess only thing to do now is for them to get to November 2006 files and then be contacted correct?

 

In the meantime, should i start on my Affidavit of Support (864 and 864A)?

 

So there's 4 files/families that my Mom's sponsoring, that means she has to fill out 4 i-864 forms for those 4 families, right? Same for my brother who's the joint sponsor.

 

Thank you so very much for the questions! I'm studying the forms as well and how to completely filled it out. If you have any sites to help fill the forms, please let me know.

So you have not received the welcome letter as well? Since they're processing cases for October 2006 now (June will be for December 2006) per the bulletin board! I'm preparing my affidavit of support at the moment but not sure if that should wait, now that i'm hearing from you perhaps i should wait to submit it as well!

Hi

Your PD is August 2006, are you using the visa bulletin board FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCE CASES to check the processing PD for your file? OR are you using the 2nd chart, DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS?

 

 

In addition, have you received anything from the NVC yet?

 

Thank you

Michelle

Your process is yet not started. The second chart does not move every month. Sometimes it takes 4-6 months to move. So you need to wait. Do NOT need to prepare for any papers yet. Once they send the welcome letter than you need to fill form and start working on papers. 

 

Make sure your passports are ready and not getting expired in near time...
