neo my friend they have standard script to which they read and trust me some time they are very rude may be the heavy volume of call same repeating question work loud can make to them frustrated.I am quit reasonable sure that after the publishing of visa bulletin they will start to send the interview may be it would be from next week because their is no sign of retrogression or stop the movement remain same till July October 08 they did not mention any thing in last visa bulletin this is a positive way of nvc the give some sign or hint about the future movement always . Members are only discussing or giving the reference of April visa bulletin remember my friend they mentioned in October 2011 visa bulletin about the family base visa and said 4 to six week movement for f2a in Feb 2012 the mentioned it 1 to two month in April they mentioned about f4 china mainland born could be slow or stop on some point they did not said any thing about f2a or any other category and trust me i confirmed with some peoples of my family they are in f4 from Pakistan and has pd DEC 01 2000 did not get their interview so mean none of the other category has been scheduled yet that is a really a very good sign so keep the hope for best have nice night

Charles Oppenheim is the most reliable source of information we have: he is, after all, the Chief of the Visa Control and Reporting Division at the U.S. Department of State and responsible for the monthly visa number allocations and for preparing the visa bulletin. If he predicts that the cut-off date for F2A will move up to 2.5 months for the next three months, I believe him. He has the most information available and can base his estimates on data, not "strong feelings" like some people here.
Now obviously his estimates are only as good as his data, and therefore he also cannot predict the cut-off movement in the long term. In September 2010 he had good grounds for stating that F2A might be current or close to current in February 2011 - for months, he had been looking at a very short list of documentarily qualified immigrants. However, shortly after his meeting with AILA the demand exploded as USCIS started approving cases at a much faster pace, and the retrogression happened. Luckily for us, the situation at the moment is very different from 2010. Most 2009 and early 2010 filers have completed their cases long ago, and therefore the Visa Office is able to have an accurate number of documentarily qualified applicants and compare it with the number of available visas.
I had also hoped that we would have seen interview appointments by now, but it is not unheard of to receive an interview letter after the visa bulletin has been published. I've been reading this forum since September 2009, and it's only been during the past year or so that I remember people actually getting interviews before the VB was out.

HI friends after very closing monitoring of your comments and AILA PAGE i found the conclusion that you all are looking in rush and because of anxiety which is true i can understand you all missed two or three very important thing i would like to remind you any body remember this kind of the article published in end of dec 2010 regarding the AILA Conference and Mr chief controller of the dos visa section gave his view like prediction that some of the family base category like to become retrogression in the coming months visa bulletin but fortunately the f2a ones is not going to effect but you know what happened it backed almost 2.5 year in Jan 11 visa bulletin that was jan 08 and in Feb 11vb it backed one more year it was Jan 07 one is example of the credibility of this prediction. more over i would like to share that in April visa bulletin they only said something about f4 and further classify that china man land could be slow or stop on some point they never say any thing about any other category instead of it the given advance notification on Feb visa bulletin about all category and for f2a says movements could be 1 to 2 month one thing is very important that only the state department side is credible in-spite of others now i come to another a very important point if we believe on this AILA Article it did not says that movement is going to stop for three month and will remain same freeze on October 08 if you read it again carefully it say the movement would be possible up to 2 to 6 month from April 09 doesn't meant it will remain stuck on same date till July mean it can move up to 2 to 6 month mean may be every bulletin till July move this pace now please relax and avoid crating panic and discouraging to each other and wait visa bulletin its quite and reasonable possibility is their they schedule interview after visa bulletin published because i think they have change their system same they change in AVR now keep the hope and lift it high please i am in same boat with you my wife pd is may 10 2010 have nice day

yup thats right.. before some days i also think abt it that dis thread is like a astrologer.. and that is the reason of uscis jealous..
i think time to cheers...

lol

Hi All,
My interview completed at Sydney US Consulate and it was alright with some tricky questions
In the end all was good but I was missing couple of documents so officer took my passport and asked me to mail missing docs.
All documents posted now and waiting for some answers or passport in mail
Missing document:
1. Citizenship certificate (I was not born in Australia but I assumed having passport with me was fine)
2. Statement from my spouse asking reasons for not filing tax return for last 5 yrs.
Will update forums as I receive some answers.
Best luck to all waiting for interview letter....
Cheers,
Homer

last month was VB is coming soon & no one get his interview .. next day mr.blu get his interview dont worry

I call them in the mrng.. Same answer

The life cycle of a Visa Bulletin Prediction thread:
Days 1-8: "Yaay! Let's all hope for great movement!" "Congratulations to those who got their interview!"
Days 9-10: "I have a question, can anyone help?"
Day 11: "Here is the answer."
Days 12-13: "I don't like your answer, so let's argue."
Days 14-15: "I have a totally unrelated question that has nothing to do with VB prediction... but maybe someone knows the answer?"
Days 16-17: "Sorry, we don't know the answer. Here is a guess, but you're in the wrong forum."
Days 18-19: "Let's argue about something! You suck!"
Days 20-23: "NO, you suck!"
Day 24: Moderator deletes offending posts.
Day 25: "Did anyone call NVC yet?"
Day 26: "Call NVC!" "Call NVC!" "I called NVC, they said call back next month?! What does that mean?!?!"
Days 27-28: "OMG!!! Nobody is going to get an interview!! There'll be retrogression!!! Arrggghghghg!"
Day 29: "Calm down. Think positive and wait. Everything will be fine"
Day 30: "Yay, I got an interview." "Whoohoo! Me too!"
Day 31: "VB released, 2 months movement." "Congratulations"
Rinse and repeat.

i know that ... i mean this does not mean delay in the issuance of interview schedules that mean slow or stop movement VB
by the way PILAPILA his pd 30oct09 not 16oct09

My husband called NVc for interview inquiry. The operator said they are getting close on our case, and to be sure, call again on April 4 for the date of interview. PD October 23,2009.

Yaa my friend.. I will post exactly at the moment i recieve it in my inbox..

still not available .. i call 2 times

SO EVERYBODY IM REALLY EXCITED CANT WAIT TO SEE SOME PEOPLE GET INTERVIEWS. HOPE WE MAKE IT TO 2010 ON MAY VB. LET CROSS FINGERS.. GOD BLESS ALL AND GOOD LUCK

hey everyone,
I'm new to the community! Hope you visajourney guys are doing great! My PD is 22 November 09. It's been such a long and devastating wait. So what's your prediction? My guess : 15 October 09
cheers

hi sky,
we were excited because now we know that our priority dates will be current by May. True that they(NVC operators) are not aware of the future visa movements but WE are because we've been exchanging news about the progress of everyone's cases which is a very big help. The NVC operators are required to give current infos and not predictions that's why they give same answers to anyone who is inquiring.
I pray for you and everyone to get theirs as well....let's stay positive!!!

October 2009 PD's and possibly NOV.2009 too, get ready. We are next for May VB!

Nov 1 2009 is very likely. Nov 15 is also possible.
This 2mon/mon trend should be sustained until Aug 2010. After that, don't know.
