I think it will move by 3 years in the next 1 year

Only if they lied about it.

 

When was the I 130 filed?

There is no harm in wishful thinking….

December Bulletin out and no movement.

 

The most annoying fact is according to Charlie there will be an estimated 10,000-15,000 unused family visa numbers for fiscal year 2024.

[Boiler 45,731]

Sue for what?

You may want to try writing to your state senator, house representative, or even the Secretary of State and explain all the delays. Lawyers don’t want to sue USCIS or DoS for family based categories.

Depending on your situation & your category - if your receipt (Priority) date is past the date from the one NVC is posting in your category (for visa availability) only then your Congressman and or Senator might take some interest. If your priority date is not 'current' - they will 'punt' your request and will say "talk to us when your priority date is passed". For example - NVC priority date for F2B is showing May 1, 2016 - my receipt date is Sept 11, 2017 - I called my congressman - they said - "We can't do anything until visa's are available in that category" - end of story, sorry.

To be fair to them, there is nothing they can do when a visa simply isn't available by law.

You haven't filled in your timeline, so we don't know the details of your case or what stage it's at, when is your PD? If it's current then possibly. If not, then no, there's nothing to sue them over - as said above, no visa is available by law until your PD is current.

@ appleblossom 

Yes - I am fully aware of "visa availability" @ NVC - I am good with that WAIT - I was simply responding to the person who was suggesting "call the congressman" - Just wanted to tell him that it's a mute point at this time, until NVC Priority date has passed and or "Visas are available". Luckily my child is in Canada - Thankfully,  there is no big issue with me we go back & forth whenever we want.

Jan 2025 bulletin is out. Slight final action date movement. May 1st 2016  ---> May 22nd 2016

[SN@5127 9]

Thanks for your note, any improvement is good, even if it's a month from April to 2016 to May 2106 still quite a bit away from Sept of 2017 - I believe it when I see it.
