Hi Everyone,

It is my turn to share the Good News. I got my FB2A approval from CSC yesterday 10/21/2013. It took 42 days and I am still speechless because I didn't see it coming. Though my Priority Date is 09/09/2013 I am still very optimistic that it will be current soon.

I wish everyone waiting for NOA2 best of Luck.

Above all, I thank God.

I must say people filing with CSC are the most lucky ones.

Congrats. As long as your PD is under the cut off date, you dont need to wait for it to be current.

Well i understand the cut off date as of right now is Sep 8th 2013 and sadly my priority date is a day after that, Sep 9th 2013. For some reason they received my application of Sep 7th and delayed acceptance till Sep 9th. I wonder why they skipped Sep 8th.

Your best hope is to wait for the Dec bulletin and hope that dates move forward. It will definitely not be current again. that was like a rare celestial event.

Worst is dates going backwards i.e retrogression.

Yes it was a Sunday but what beats me is why the Cut off date falls on a Sunday. Why not a Saturday or even a Monday?mad.gif UPS delivered the package to them on Saturday September 7th 2013 for that matter.

I guess it's time to grab a burger and wait for the next bulletin. The word Retrogression has made it to the top of the most dreadful words in my head right now.secret7vf.gif

The cut off dates are not based on a "day" but rather on a DATE.

Cut off dates always fall on the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd of the month in question where the visa bulletin is concerned.

So they didn't pick a Sunday per say. It's just that the cut off for Sep. was the 8th of that month which just happened to be a Sunday. :-) ~~~

Hi raz0407,

i only filed i-130 and did not get an RFE, though at one point i thought i may get it because i was worried that I may not have added enough evidence/document.

Is your petition at CSC? I think CSC have been favorable lately.
