PD 2016 Filers (F2A)

[escalanterom 2]

Hi!

Yes, it shows the same exact thing and when you use the "pay fees" option, it will show "not invoiced". I called and they said I have to wait until my priority date is closer. One thing that I havent been able to find out is how close to my PD they will let me choose the agent and pay the fees. Let's keep each other updated.

"Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error."

Yaya2004, so that means that in about 2 months (more or less) I should expect the letter and the process should start moving forward again, right?

If so, thanks a lot for clarifying!

And where does this information comes from if you dont mind me asking?

Thanks in advance!

[escalanterom 2]

Thank you! I sure will.

Finally, someone explains the visa bulletin in a way that makes sense! Lol.. Thanks, I will follow up on that and be ready. As far as I'm concerned, the next steps are: choose of agent, pay fees and submit AOS, I'm I correct?

Good News HERE:

 

Charlie Oppenheim Guidance:  FB-1, FB-2 and FB-3 are expected to continue to advance at the same pace as this month in the future  because of the low rate at which applicants are becoming documentarily qualified. The FB-4 advancement in April was sufficient to meet Charlie’s target for this category for the next two to three months. This allowed the overall desired allocation level through April to be met, and should prevent excessive allocations once demand in the other categories increases those desired levels. No further advancement of FB-4 Worldwide is expected until July.

This means, that for the foreseeable future they expect a movement of 1 months / months. 

We assumed delay so this is a good news!

not sure where it was taken from, but the official VB does not state it: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/law-and-policy/bulletin/2017/visa-bulletin-for-april-2017.html

Yes, Oppenheimer often gives explanatory notes that are not included in the visa bulletin.

Well not many choose to post those news as not considered big news:) You may believe or disregard it, it is up to you. In the previous Visa bulletin, his official statements have been fully in line with this, thus, there is no reason to doubt the information. 

[Michael2017 368]

Can everyone with PD July, August, September, October post his I-130 approval (NO2) date?

This way we could see where the processing is at the moment. Please post your Visa Center location as well.

[maria betances 42]

can this be true ?
