PD 2016 Filers (F2A)

Anyone know if there are any good threads or facebook groups for people affected by Presidential Travel Ban proclamation? 

[Weebee 57]

Found some clear explanation here. My understanding is visas are not being issued unless you have a double citizenship. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct that they are not being issued. I don't have any data on if double citizenship helps or not but I am guessing it does help. 

Please do let me know if anyone has seen any good forums, facebook groups, etc related to people affected by travel ban.

For spouses the travel ban has translated to mandatory AP. AP is taking 1 year plus. Very few 2018 interviews have been granted visas. Quite a few from 2017 have.

How do you know for sure that spouses visas has translated to mandatory AP? Do you have proof?

Every single person who has gone in for a spouse interview in 2018 from travel ban countries has been placed in AP. They get a paper that says "9645" on it. 9645 is the proclamation number.

Do you know if they’ll all receive visa after AP is done?

That is my belief yes. The problem is ap already used to take 1 yr plus. Now with all these new cases god knows.

Hey guys, 

 

Is there anyone here who has received IL now in November for interviews taking place either in Canada (Montreal) or Brazil (Rio)? If so, can you please share PD and Case Complete date?

 

Thanks!

Hi everyone my priority date is November 21 2016 .My case is already complete I’m waiting for interview  .... I’m waiting for long time till I got my cc .. When I will have interview ? 

Nov 21 2016 was PD for i-130 or i-485? What is your receipt date for i-130 and i-485? My wife is the same date for i-130 and her i-485 date is March-30-2018

VB is slowing down. This is reflecting record I-130 petition during the end of 2016. I am afraid F2A is heading towards 2.5-3 years wait in future.

No one can say for sure, but I would say around April, 2019, you could have you interview.

Thank you! Hope the VB for Jan 2019 will be 4-5 weeks. 😅
