Just follow the usual website, you’re at step 10 now - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

Make sure you read the country specific instructions too.

Yes, I noticed it - moved ahead only 2 weeks - however, any move in positive direction is good - let hope for the best - my final action date is Sept 11, 2017 - still quite bit of time left. (Keep your finger crossed)

Honestly, I expected no movement until early next year, so I was pleasantly surprised. I am late December 2016 so I am getting closer.

Yes, me too. I thought the government is shut down nothing will happen. Howe er, good for you - may you get your petition resolved successfully soon. At present, My Priority Date is still approximately 9 months away.  We will see how it moves in coming months.

Sooner your date becomes UpToDate -the better for folks like me, mine still a bit away i.e. Sept 11, 2017 - keep our fingers crossed.

Yes indeed. So much was at stake, so many people looking up to this moment, a future and lives dependent on this moment. Its behind me now, a huge weight off my shoulders. New challenges await. But for now I'll breath, celebrate and be grateful.

 

Other Immigration steps ahead.

 

-Arrive and return back home and formalize marriage with fiance (We have 2 kids)

-Return to the US and petition for them 

-My citizenship journey.

-My family's citizenship journey.

 

This platform has been super helpful and will continue to be. Again, thank you all.
