My case status changed to "case reopened for reconsideration".

USCIS is saying that they ran out of visa numbers for me and I have to wait till new visa numbers are available.

wow, how long is the wait? did you get an approval notice by mail?

I just hope that even for I-485 they don't put us (F2A categories) behind K1 like they did for EAD/AP. That would be tragic.

Guys, lets cool down, we all trying to help each other. Lets focus on the bigger picture and ignore the noise. Its stressful but we should remain calm. We all appreciate what you post.

I don't think they share the same view with you. I think they feel they are doing us a favor, even if they are paid by us. Did you get any mail about your SRs?

the visa numbers depends on the country of birth, category (F2A in our case). Since its end of the fiscal year, they have used up the visa numbers for India in family category and they have to not wait until new visa numbers are available.

This is weird because your visa should have been available since your case was current.

Hi everyone,

I have been silent reader since I filled for AOS in October 2017. Right now I am after interview that was held on August 23th and I start freaking out.. everything went well, officer said that he doesn’t see anything wrong with our case. He said it is recommended for approval and I should getting something in the mail soon. However since then, no updates... it is just killing me... I saw your posts that there is no more available visas for family based categories, however my PD is March 16 2016.  

Thanks for any suggestions and opinions.

Sorry, we can’t help since you are a silent reader and have not shared anything about your case. Just kidding. Don’t freak out. It has just been a week. Mine took a month to be approved.

For me it is like a year... reading those posts of people that have been waiting after interview many many months makes me terrified.. when was your interview?

Aloha Everyone.

 

I know that I should make my own topic but no one is helping me about my case,  My PD is October 2016, It took 2 month to NVC to complete my case. now its been 4 month of waiting for interview. I was reading the previous topic, people that's has August priority date hasn't got theirs yet, it this mean I have to wait for another 5 month? I checked the VB and it doesn't move ever since. can someone can tell me about it? I very appreciate for your help.

Starting October (in a few days VB update), I think it would move a little. But based on what you mentioned, I think you will need to wait between 3-6 months.

Hi guys!

 

I had my interview last Monday. It went pretty well. Approved on the spot. The same day case status changed to “New Card is being produced”.

Do you guys know how long it takes to change to “Card was mailed” or something like that?

 

Thank you!
