2016 F2A Filers

[Michael2017 368]

She must have a valid Visa, and the PD must be current, and she must have not intended to do so when entering USA. Latter will be difficult to achieve for you.

Post I130 approval while we wait on NVC, can we apply for a tourist visa for a short visit to the states.

 

will consulate approve?

will immigration at airport be ok?

[Michael2017 368]

If you have the money for the application, it will be fine. Attached list can help for docs for the interview and for the airport, if documents are available. Generally, it will depend on your country and if it is a low/high fraud country, and if your wife still has ties (study, job) in the home country. You can not mess something up by asking for a tourist visa, so if you can afford it, you can try.

 

Take those documents to the interview and airport:

filed i-130 for my wife on November 21, 2016 and got our notice of action receipt type after 10 days and has been transferred to California service center for further process. I'm still waiting for them to approve our case. It takes too long T^T

This part of the Visa bulletin of April is actually quite good news for us.

1. The VB moved 4 weeks not 3 weeks as initially projected

2. There is currently low demand, but, they keep the F2A moving at steady speed

while working on rapid F4 speed up

3. They will, at more demand, keep the F2A moving still steady, but halt the F4.

Seeing this, we can count on steady movements in the next couple of months:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.  RAPID MOVEMENT IN WORLDWIDE FAMILY FOURTH
     PREFERENCE CATEGORY

Despite the forward movement of the final action dates, the level of demand and resulting number use in several Family preferences has been below expectations.  This lower than expected demand has resulted in advancement of the April Worldwide Family Fourth Preference date at a pace that covers the period of several months projected in the March Visa Bulletin’s “Visa Availability in the Coming Months”.  This action will allow the overall desired allocation level of number use for and through April to be met.  There are signs that demand in the other categories will increase in the coming months, resulting in the higher monthly allocation totals required to allow number use to reach those desired levels.  The Fourth Preference date will then be held for a period of time while the anticipated monthly allocation levels in those other preferences increase, without drastically altering overall workload patterns.

the visa bulletin will move to july 15 2015 in my bulletin. the last IL was receive yesterday was for july 13 2015

Hello guys, any further predictions on how F2A category will behave going forward. 

Any possibility of a jump in this category longer than a month?

 

Also, if the Date of filing becomes current can someone shed light on the process there after?

 

Thanks

I filed for my minor child F2a...pd is Dec 1/16. Have not received NOA2 as yet. I was hoping she would be here to start school Aug 2018; however this category seems to have retrogressed. Looking at her arriving sometime in 2019. but fortunately she visits every month on tourist visa.
