now , chennai conulate (india) no longer process iv.....only dehli and mumbai consulate will....

might be for temporarily....

...as they have to retain such a nice building and might renovate to accommodate more windows in the future to ease more filers...

Bulletin's out, less than one month movement... Not what we were hoping for. Forecast is for it to keep moving at this pace for the upcoming months.

very depressing..

Why they are not moving f 4..at higher speed..

All categories other than f4 showed positive sign…….f1..2 months..1 week..

F2a…1.5 months….even f2b moved 1 month 1 week…….f3 moved 1 month…and f4 :…22 days

F4 is getting worst and worst. day by day..

Very bad news for f4 fillers………….

@sachin- dude i also see the same, i am ver dissapointed for the last few days , thats why i ddnt post anything as well, just hoping for the best !

About F4,keep moving is fine enough.I am satisfied becasue there is no new retrogression and stagnancy .And why shouldn't the requirement of the sponsorship for family-based immigration be increased?People must earn their right to immigrate their family to another nation isn't it?

True, but once in a while if it moves a year ahead like the employment based category, then it will make people happy in this 10 yr journey..

It's a dog-eat-dog world, even F2A people crib that F4 visa filers have more visas and moving faster..!! Somebody should represent for F4 Filers and make the US govt think about Big Brothers and Sisters in the Senate..

ya man..for another 2-3 months ...only 1 month movemnt

i hope we can see some action in April vb or after it ...coz 5 months of current fy is over...nvc have to speed up the process in order to utilize visa numbers left..

and the visa demand is low right now...i have counted how many persons get visa app lettter in india (Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai consulate ) , and i can say that demand is very low compare to last year(approx 30%) ..so i hope we can see some action in coming vbs like other categories are having

hope for the best and best of luck to all f4 beneficiaries ..............

I am curiously to know in what way you could do this?If what you said is true that will be a great news for all F4s.

And I don't think it's a dog-eat-dog world.We are human beings,we live in a world full of GOD's rules different with those of dogs'.

Good Data for analysis..

From this data it can be inferred, the number of Visa Filers Vs VB date advancement. In Dec 2010 and Jan 2011, the backlogs of the previous PDs were cleared and there were less filers in Nov 2011...with this rate and any electronic processing initiatives from NVC will surely reduce the waiting time..
