I used to experience on an H1b VISA. The VO told me everything looks good but might take up to 2 week and I ended up waiting for 4 in radio silence. It was streesfull but rest assure that an approved case is going to be issued. I'm almost certain that if PD is not current at the moment, the VISA can not be issued. You may want to check the Sep bulletin - it just came out. Hope all the best!

Thanks BurBur for your answer, and congratulations on getting the interview! I just checked and my PD is not current.. I think my wife's case has been hit by the retrogression and we need to wait till October. Do you know if the Administrative Processing is still in progress under the retrogression and we'll find out when it's completed? or will they just put a hold on her AP until after October when the visas become available again? I'm wondering if they might still update the status to Ready but not Issue the visa or they don't do anything about it till October. It is absurd that they can hold onto someone's passport for that long, without even giving any explanation about the reason/timeline... Thanks again for your answer and best of luck on your interview!

It's not that I have been avoiding VJ, but I have been feeling so bad that IL's have not been forthcoming since May, and I understand how hard it is just hoping everyday that they will arrive.  I also

Didn't have to call! IL arrived at 3:36 am, interview June 29th, at 7:30.  Hope there are many more to follow!

I think, IR/CR wait times will be reduced to a matter of hours, kinda like a drive thru... EB applicants, however, will continue telling tales of patience and how their journey was to Mordor... s

Yea, I understand this is quite difficult. I'm not sure whether they would let you know if the process is actually complete or not. Did you try emailing them? I bet the status will stay as AP until Oct when it should be issued. I guess they still process it under retrogression, just can't issue it. I have seen people attending interview while it's already retrogressed - which means they can work on your case even though VISA can not be issued. Again, I'm merely guessing - maybe you can find a lawyer who may answer this? Best of luck!

Congratz on your interview BurBur.

@sadee and @shaik have you guys heard anything yet? is your PD current as of new bulletin?

mine is not current yet. 

@BurBur shuld PD be current on the month IL issued and the month the interview will be held?  

Thanks! I used to see people attending interviews when they were no longer current and their VISA has to wait till current to be issued. This means at the time of scheduling NVC had no visibility of upcoming month's visa bulletin. But I have a feeling that this might have changed because I didn't get an interview until next month's bulletin is out - maybe this is a better news to you because if you are current in Oct you may hear something as early as mid-sep when the VB is out. But again, this is just guessing

Not yet. My PD is not current and hopes in October it will become current. Very disappointing because of this long wait time.

Thank you for your insight. My wife works in US, but has not been able to go back to work due to the situation.. I guess we need to arrange some long term arrangement for her work now. We emailed the consulate office but no response yet, and our lawyer has not been helpful unfortunately.. We'll keep trying. Thanks again and best of luck on your interview!

Immigrant Visa Case Number: I

 

Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center. 

Guys please check you NVC case status, Mine just changed to In transit. Priority date June 28th

Mine is still At NVC :( But that's very promising, so I'm going to keep checking!
