Thank you.  Can i make the assumption that on the Visa Bulletin, the first table means the dates of which the I-130 are processing

A.  FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCE CASES

 

and the second table means the available of visas (after I-130 approved)?

B.  DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS

 

Therefore for my case, as I submitted in Feb 2019, now they are only processing I-130 for July 2017?

 

In another website regarding processing time, I checked for Nebraska Service Center that they are handling May 2018 applications though.  Very confused.  Thanks!

The Visa Bulletin has nothing to do with I-130 processing. You need to check the USCIS processing times website for that: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

That may not be too good to be true. I remember in 2013/14 or so, when I was a GC holder, F2A became Current for 2 or 3 months, then boom, back to usual 2 years in October probably because of so many

You cannot file for AOS for somebody not within the US.

 

It is fraud to use a non-immigrant visa as a means to immigrate (file for AOS).

There are very limited exceptions for a few work visas (e.g. H-1B, O-1, L-1). Given that the child is under 21 (for F2A category), these exceptions very likely do not apply.

That is incorrect. A parent of a USC enters the US on B1 visa can do a I-485 adjustment of status. It is not fraud as long as there is no misrepresentation at point of entry. Many folks here on visajourney have done a B1 adjustment of status for parents of USC.

No, it is very correct. I made 2 statements:

1) You cannot file for AOS for somebody not within the US.

This is absolutely true...I think we agree there.

 

2) It is fraud to use a non-immigrant visa as a means to immigrate (file for AOS).

This is also true. A requirement to obtain or use a tourist visa is intent to return home. See INA 212(a)(7)(a)(i)(i). People have been refused fore this reason. Some have received an expedited deportation at POE for this.

This is different than filing for AOS after entry on a tourist visa. Circumstances can change and result in deciding to file for AOS after entry.

Can we file I-130 and I-485 together from July? My spouse is not in US at the moment 

No - the I-485 can only be filed if they are already in the US. They cannot enter with intent to file for AOS either.
