EB 3

What's the difference between a priority date and documentarily qualified? I.e If person A has a priority date of 20/01/2023 and person B has a priority of date 20/06/2023 but person B becomes documentarily qualified before person A, will person B move ahead of person A in the VISA line?

Neither would be in the line for an interview now anyway, as their PD’s aren’t current. 
 

But if both PD’s were current then yes, whoever is DQ’ed first would get an interview first. 
 

BTW, please just use normal type - your post was really hard to read! Thx.

OK, so if both those PD's are correct and you're trying to compare the two cases - at the moment only one may be invited to complete the NVC processing (submit docs, complete DS-260, pay fees) as only one is potentially eligible to do so under Table B of the Visa Bulletin (depending on the country). The case with a PD of 20th June 2023 isn't able to do any of that yet regardless of which country they're in. 

 

But neither are eligible for a visa yet, they've both got quite a wait ahead of them. I'd assume that both will be DQ'ed well before their PD's become current, so at that point it just becomes a case of whether the earlier PD is current first, or both become current at the same time (if there is a big leap of dates on the VB).

My PD sisters PD is 20th July 2023 but she has completed NVC and became  Documentarily qualified 27th October 2023. Hows that possible? She is USRN EB 3 (Rest of the world)

Are you sure that’s her PD? When was her I-140 approved?

Yes I am very sure. It was approved on the 27th of July 2023 via premium service.

Hmmm very odd. The VB sets it out clearly, she shouldn't have been asked to submit docs as her PD isn't current for filing. Does her CEAC status definitely show E3 on it? Just wondered if perhaps she's been put in the wrong category by mistake.

 

But either way I'm not really sure how or why it matters, there's no visa available to her yet, she's still got a long wait. It's not like she's going to jump the queue and get given a visa ahead of somebody else with a current PD. Visa availability is much more strictly controlled and there simply isn't one available to her yet.

Yes, her Ceac status shows E3. But with her priority date, can you estimate the waiting time for her to get interview and VISA?

Very odd, sounds like somebody has made a mistake. 

 

Current PD for visas is 1st Dec 2021, so 2.5 years, but I think Ghana has quite a long wait for interviews. Maybe 3 years? It's as good a guess as any.
