Can anyone explain me how to match visa bulletin with my case, I mean what actually visa bulletin Is? My step dad was a us citizen at the time when he called me here on gc and there was no such thing like visa wait time after nvc gets done with its process. Now I have filed a petition for my wife which is I-130 permanent resident filing for spouse our pd is Sept 22nd 2016. What is visa bulletin and what happens if our pd is current? Replies would be appreciated.

You need to change your category to F2A in your profile. The highlighted area is your category and what case nvc is processing now. You have about a year wait left before you become current. This what the visa bulletin look like. It comes out around the 10th of every month. About 6 months before you are current nvc contact you about paying fees and submitting more documents. When you are current that is when you get your interview.

Are you a Citizen of LPR? There is no wait for Citizens. You can file concurrently. There is a 2 year wait for F2A.
