Hello

I really need help with visa bulletin on USCIS websites I don't understand them after reading everything about it so many times, so my problem is that I just got my I-130 petition for alien relative (spous) approved on January 27, 2017 my priority date is august 15, 2016 so after waiting couple of months I finally received a letter saying that the above petition has been approved. And we have sent the original visa application to the (NVC) for further process, I am a green card holder my birth country is Afghanistan and my husband is from Afghanistan too, so I have applied for him based on my green card. Now I want to know that according to priority date which is august 15, 2016 how long do I have to wait for a visa number to become avilable for him and also yesterday I just received an email from USCIS which says "NEXT STEP AFTER PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE" I will attach a copy of email I have received I don't understand why did I get that when I don't have a visa number available yet?

thank you very much for help in advance, I really appreciate your help.

A visa number is not available to your husband since his PD is not current.

 

This is how to read the Visa Bulletin.  

 

1. Check for the VB here: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/law-and-policy/bulletin.html

2. Check for the latest VB.

3. Look at "A.  FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCE CASES"  --> F2a & All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed.

4. For March 2017, the current PD for F2a & All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed is 08MAY15.  This means that beneficiaries with PD before May 8, 2015, have visa numbers available to them.

 

Your husband's PD is August 15, 2016.  No one, not even the US Government, can tell you how much longer your husband has to wait.  Based on the current PD of May 8, 2015, you should expect it to be another year and half before a visa number is available to your husband.

 

Best of luck.
