There is this current situation.

 

Mother (permanent resident) applied for his son (13 years) under i130 in California Service Center. According to the processing times, the center is processing applications prior to October 13, 2016 as of today. His priority date is February 13, 2017. Also, according to the visa bulletin, immigration has visas available for those with priority July 01, 2016 or earlier. 

 

Given the current scenario, it looks like his visa might become available even before his i130 is processed. So what would happen here?
