Hi everyone! I'm a 2016 filer for my spouse. I started this thread because I wanted to interact with my fellow 2016 filers (as well as others) who are also going through the petition process. This would be a great opportunity to share our insights, knowledge, and experiences. Honestly though, the waiting game is really hard. Maybe if we support each other, it would help ease it even a little.

So to start off:

PD: 7/20/2016

NOA1: 7/26/2016

NOA2: 11/29/2016

PD : MAY 9, 2016

NOA1: MAY 11, 2016

NOA2: September 12, 2016

F2A Philippines ?

Hi, I Have a pending F2A (Spouse) case at NVC and my Priority Date is (04 JAN 2016). on June,14,2016 NVC sent me an email saying (Currently, a visa number is unavailable and this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time). Its been a year but i did not get any mail for starting my process with NVC. Then I chacked CEAC with my case number and it says  Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) that list the six steps you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything is missing or incomplete.

But I did not received any mail about that. I called NVC and thay said when my PD become current then I can start the processing. Can anyone tell me how long I have to wait for to submit my supporting document to NVC? Thank you

Hi, my name is Anna (PR) and I'm filing for my husband that is currently in Hungary. His PD is April 4th 2016. I'm anxiously checking the Visa Bulletin on a monthly basis to see, whether the "Dates For Filing (DFF)" has moved. I know that the most important movement is "Final Action Date (FAD)", but being able to move forward in the filing process after DFF is "current" means a lot mentally in this difficult waiting process. New Visa Bulletin for Feb should come in today, so let's see the movement.

[AnnaMBoros 27]

You have to check "Dates For Filing "in Visa Bulletin. Currently they are on November 22nd 2015 and they have been there for about 6 months. I'm expecting a forward movement soon. Check VB today (each 10th or so of each month) for a February updates.

You have to check "Dates For Filing" column in a monthly Visa Bulletin. Currently, the date is set for November 22nd 2015, however, it has been "sitting" there for about 6 months, so movement is expected soon. Check the VB on a  monthly basis, each 10th of the month or so. You will be able to file next time DFF moves, and as I mentioned, it should be this or next month.

Yes, disappointing, but next time it moves I'm sure you will be ok to start the filing process. I just wanted you to know that there are 2 different dates you have to look at in Visa Bulletin: "Final Action Date "(FAD) and "Dates For Filing". This is a new system that started like 2 years ago or so. Before there was just FAD. So it works in favor for us petitioners, as it saves us cca 3 months of waiting.

Hi Milli;

Is your son here in the US (you will be doing adjustment of status) or he is abroad (consular processing). Also, just to make sure - are you a  permanent resident or a US citizen?
