Immigrant Visa--numerical limitations

[probabilistic 0]

Hi everyone,

Our case (F2A Category) is DQ'ed with NVC and currently waiting for an interview schedule with US London embassy. Yesterday, on CEAC page I noticed the following message in "Summary Information":
 

Quote

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.

I was wondering if others in the same step have got this.
Does it mean there is a backlog and we are not going to get interview at least until the next USCIS fiscal year (October 2022)?

Thanks!

There is no backlog for category F2a so you should keep moving along to interview. Maybe that is a generic statement because many other categories do have a wait for a visa to become available.

Thank you!🤞🏻
I see on July Visa bulletin F2A is current, however, on June Visa bulletin (at the end) it hints a possible backlog for F2A as early as August this year. There is no mention of that on the latest Visa bulletin (July), however.
