I never trusted mygcvisa.com. The predictions are always just predictions. They usually assume a 4 week average movement. At the very least 4 weeks would be nice every month. It's better than most oth

Hi,

I'll do my best to give you my opinion.

If one can apply for the I-485, that means that a visa is available (that means, after your PD). If you file your I-485 before your OPT expires, you will not be out of status while your I-485 is being processed. The typical processing time to adjust status is anywhere between 5 and 7 months but in order to not waste time they issue the EAD so that an individual can work. It's not a symbol of legal status per se, however it still means you can legally stay and work while the petition is being processed. I would strongly recommend you do this through an experienced attorney or at least consult with one. I only speak through my own experiences. Since your PD will be current in the next VB, I highly recommend getting all your paper work ready to send. Good luck!

Thanks Munafn, I called today a representative said as long as your entry is legal, it doesn't matter. after he transferred me to imm-officer but the phone got disconnected. I am going to talk to my attorney this afternoon, see how it go...!

yes you explained it well.....but if you read the EAD it states very clearly that it is not a visa. I don't think the EAD means you are "legal" - it just means you have permission to work. You have to have an underlying visa that makes you "legal"......

yes you are very right about the CC... if you are filing Adjustment of Status its not needed (I told you it was late over here!).

well maybe Munafn can give you more insights.

Yes, that's the confusing part, logically dont make sense. Thanks sbai2000!

Many thanks all VJ members that helped me trought this process, great news we received today. thanks first with god and then all friendly VJ.

Hi Nicalord, Congrats wish you good luck for the interview !!!

I have a quick question your priority date is Dec'13 and the current Visa Bulletin is for Oct'13 am I right, will they schedule an interview even if your priority date is not current? I am little bit curious just thinking how the things works at NVC.

My Priority date is May'14 and recently I mailed my Fees and they received payment but they didn't updated my case in the online don't know when will it get updated.

The actual VB is in Nov 08 2013, when they think your PD becomes current ( 3 months normally) they start process requesting all docs and fee payments. then if your case is completed they send you a mail about your case, so once your PD will be current in next month they scheduling your interview one month early.
So you, you should call NVC and inquiry about your case. However at this moment they have problem with system, there are many people waiting for they solve problem. You can go this website for instructions http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/assistance-for-applicants-experiencing-technical-difficulties.html
Good luck

Next I went inside for body and bag checking
Then I proceed to :
Step 1.finger print scanning and the woman asked me DS260 confirmation
page andAppoinment letter she wrote something on it and returned it to me
.And then she told me to go directly to step 2.
waiting time 2 minutes only before step 2
Step 2.Pre Screening Filipino consul.
He asked me the following documents because we only sent a xerox
copy to NVC.

B.Who is your petitioner?
C.When did you get married?
D.when was the last time he visited you.?
E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you
