site to check status is CEAC /put in the # assigned by NVC you can not expedite a F4 visa/all u can do is wait for your time to come up the F4 is limited to 65,000 visas a year when NVC is ready to process the AOS and ds 260 the USC will receive an invoice for payments and instructions to fill out the forms Number of Visas Each Year is Limited in Some Categories United States law limits the number of immigrant visa numbers available each year in certain visa categories. This means that even if USCIS approves an immigrant visa petition for you, you may not get an immigrant visa number immediately. In addition, U.S. law also limits the number of visas available in certain categories by country. For limited categories, the availability of immigrant visa numbers depends on the date your petition was filed and the number of others waiting for the same visa category. The date your petition was filed is called your priority date. Priority dates are posted monthly on the Visa Bulletin, which provides up-to-date priority dates for cases NVC is processing. Please note that while NVC attempts to contact all applicants when their visa number is available, you can also use the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin to check whether a visa is available for your petition. If a visa is available and NVC has not yet contacted you, please let us know by using our Public Inquiry Form.
