Thrilling Prediction for October F2A visa bulletin:

IL means interview letter.

Yes it is the NVC who gives out the interview schedule BUT they also coordinate it with the local embassies.

If the US embassy in DR is so busy (heavily backlogged) they do not have available slots to accommodate applicants, NVC cannot schedule any interviews.

On the basis of statement made on september visa bulletin under F2A category my prediction for the cut off date would be from 2013:

Cut off Date for F2A October 2013: In between January to August 2013

Logic behind the above prediction:

1) For this fiscal year ending in september 2013, DOS has lot of available visas which would clear out almost all the backlogs of 2011 filers, otherwise it wouldn't be current for August and September.

2) From october, DOS will start using new quotas of fiscal year 2014 hence, they will try to use maximum number of available visa from the beginning of new fiscal year so that they don't need to make it current at the end of fiscal year again.

3) The statement made by DOS "cut-off is unlikely to have any negative impact on those who have already initiated action on their case prior to the announcement of the October cut-off dates" implies that all f2a filers who are under process with USCIS with possible approval in near future or already in NVC before new visa bulletin comes out will undergo through the interview process within next 6 to 9 months with slow movement of visa bulletin for the coming months which will slow down the process of the new I 130 filers after publication of new visa bulletin. Accordingly, all those approved filers from NVC will be able to get the visa in coming 6-9 months at maximum. After, all these backlogs of the filers clears out again there will be fast movement of visa bulletin in fiscal year 2015 hence,new filers of I 130 from September 2013 will be able to move forward with their process.

VISA VBULLETIN SEPTEMBER 2013

FAMILY-sponsored:

F2A: This category was made Current in an effort to generate new demand for the upcoming fiscal year. Information received during discussions with the National Visa Center and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this action is already having the intended result. Therefore, it is likely that a cut-off will be imposed for October. This cut-off is unlikely to have any negative impact on those who have already initiated action on their case prior to the announcement of the October cut-off dates.

wow !!! ur prediction is true ..:)

They should call their embassy. In my case i did not wait for my IL i just emailed them and said that my case is current and that im afraid that i wont received an IL because the mail in our place is not reliable. They replied "if you believe that you are eligible to have a visa you should directly file your application in US embassy. Im not sure if this will be applicable to everyone.

Thank you. Just took a look at the Sept. Visa Bulletin and found the interesting information below:

D. VISA AVAILABILITY

FAMILY-sponsored:

F2A: This category was made “Current” in an effort to generate new demand for the upcoming fiscal year. Information received during discussions with the National Visa Center and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this action is already having the intended result. Therefore, it is likely that a cut-off will be imposed for October. This cut-off is unlikely to have any negative impact on those who have already initiated action on their case prior to the announcement of the October cut-off dates.

How I understand this is that the new cut off date (PD) may be Sep 8 to 12, 2013 or whenever they will announce october visa bulletin or very close to it.

Anywaaay,

congrats to all of us who filed by yesterday. the USCIS is keeping its word.
