It means your case is now at the NVC. There it will wait til the priority date becomes current. When did you originally file the petition?

Since you are the married son of a USC (F3 visa) you have to wait for your priority date to become current, which right now it's taking about 10+ years. So whenever your petition was filed, it's taking that long before you can apply for a visa. Right now the F3 category is available for people that filed back in 2003. So it's good that your petition was approved, but unfortunately you wouldn't be able to apply for a visa any time soon. You can stay on top of the dates in the following link, but you are in for a long wait.

Thanks everybody for your replies, so it seems that i should wait for 10+ to get a visa, because the are working for 15 Nov 2003 for F3 visa.
