Is f21 and f2a same ?.. because I am also having the same issue here. When I logged in this what I saw (Due to the numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law, this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time. The National Visa Center (NVC) will retain the petition until an immigrant visa becomes available. The NVC will notify the petitioner, principal applicant, or attorney of record when this petition is eligible for further processing. The principal applicant should not make any firm plans such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time.) What's going on? Can some one please explain.

I think F21 and F2a are same as they refer to Spouse of GC holder and F2B is for children under 21 of GC.

Also I see the same message as you for the numerical limit and according to some youtube video many people are getting the same message and the person says its a glitch and it should correct soon. 

Personally I am going to wait for 1 week and then send an email to NVC and ask them for the status. Goodluck.

I asked my lawyer Abby this because I was wanting to change my name to my marries name. The process to do this at least in US is so backlogged she said don't risk it because I coould be caught out with no passport and then unable to go to India or anywhere til I get it. The process takes months right now and people are without a passport for almost a year. They know this so they should not be asking. I want to change my name as I am proud to be married and will do this once we have visa. I also Ama dual citizen so I have to change everything.

Change of name is different than adding spouse name to Indian passport.  You are definitely not required to change name.  I was referring to adding spouse name in India.  But adding spouse name may also be backlogged in US for your case.

So looks like time between DQ and Interview is trending down?

Hi All, just wanted to give you a status on our process. My husband had his interview this morning. Sadly he was notified yesterday evening by the hospital that they had not submitted his medical report to the embassy and that his interview would be cancelled. He was told he would have to return to the hospital for additional blood work. He was already in Mumbai so he could not do it yesterday. He went to his interview appointment this morning, and he was informed that they could not proceed with interview until his medical report was received. He was told once it was received, they would reschedule his interview. So our wait will continue.

IR1 visa approved!

Needed all of you to know some information.

 

Sorry for the long post 😬

DQ Date: 26th May, 2021
Interview date: 11th March, 2022. Time: 8:30 am.(Friday)
Biometrics: 27th February, 2022
Medical: 3rd March, 2022 (Took about almost 7 hours at Delhi Max Med center. Even after that they didn't get my xray report...told me that if they'll have issues they'll call me otherwise they'll send reports directly to the embassy. However, everything went well. They didn't call me and no issues at the embassy. Got three vaccinations and recieved the vaccination report a week later in my mail.)

Reached at 8:00 am at the embassy...left at around 12.
1st officer asked me for my originals- birth certificate, marriage certificate, pcc, divorce decree.
Asked me: who's calling you?
How did we meet?
When did we meet?
When did we get married?
When did we complete our 2 years of marriage?
Is this both of our first marriages? ( Mine isn't so she asked me how did it ended and asked for my original divorce decree)
Have I ever lived in any other country for more than 1 year?
She also asked me grandfather's name(both mom's and dad's) which i couldn't recall for few minutes ( she said it's ok it won't affect our application, it's just for their record) but eventually i did.

Have I ever applied for any other US visa? (Which got a little tricky)...i told her we applied for K1 visa...(then she asked me if it was with same person or not...and why didn't we mentioned that our visa was refused in the ds 260 form)? I said, we never got an official refusal letter, from administrative processing it was sent back to USCIS for more processing...so, our (not at all helpful😒) lawyer suggested that we shouldn't mention it and simply say when asked that it wasn't refused but the window expired for it. The officer said we have to correct it in ds260 so, she gave me 1 hour permission to leave the embassy and make the necessary corrections. I asked her if she can help me where I can do that but she said i can't tell, but guess outside might be able to help you or there was one lady who had the same issue...i asked her and she guided me any autowala outside will know the internet cafe that does that(100 rs for there to back the embassy)...we went there and the guy asked for 3000rs. For the correction 😒 which felt like obviously they are taking advantage of the situation. We argued a little bit even they know that we'll cave in eventually because even the autowala wasn't ready to take us anywhere else saying that this is best and only place. And since I had just 45 min to go back, and the unknown area, we couldn't take chance. He gave us a print out also for the submission of the corrected form.

Well, after that hiccup, it was smooth sailing. The second officer was really easy to talk and friendly. It felt like we were having a conversation rather than interview.
He asked me few same questions: 
Others: (my aunt and my husband work together and she introduced us) so he asked where do they work?
Where does he lives?
How many times have we met?
When was the last time he came to meet me? Asked for those photos.
What are his hobbies?
Asked for our wedding pictures.
Then the magical words...visa approved!

They didn't ask for any tax papers, even the US specified 4 passport photos 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

Recieved passport today(Tuesday)

Hey guys, need your advice for a weird issue we're facing. Our financial circumstances have considerably changed since we submitted our documents to NVC and it's time to update Form i-864.

But there's a problem when we try to do this. In Part 5 - Sponsor's Household Size - Points number 1 and 8 come pre-populated with the number 1 and we cannot change them. We're getting the wrong household size and we don't know how to fix this. We did not face this issue when we last submitted the form. We tried downloading the form from different websites but it doesn't work. Any ideas what the matter could be? Here's the screenshot.
