According to the latest visa bulletin, the current priority date is May 2014. So he probably has to wait about a year until there is a visa available. Once that happens, NVC will send a welcome letter and ask for all fees and documents.

Thanks I did check the Visa Bulletin this morning. I just was not sure how the NVC process worked after the approval.

so in this case it is wait till the PD becomes available then do the paperwork.

-Thanks Alot

So My father filed for my brother and his case got approved last night. So what happens next. I do not know exactly how does this Category works.

Does NVC create a Case # and we proceed and then wait until a visa is available.

Or do we wait till the visa becomes available and then continue with the NVC paperwork?

Thanks for All your Advise.

Interview

I reached my appointment a little late as I always get lost in the city maybe 9:15 for my 9 am appointment. I actually was so calm due to all the rushing and being lost my mind was not occupied and over processing. It was okay that I was late as they were still a lot of interviewees still in the lobby with earlier appointment times, waiting to be called. After maybe 10 mins of waiting I got called in. My Officer was very relaxed, I was even telling him how I got lost and how I always got lost in the city. He swore me in and then asked for my passport, DL & greencard. He questioned me about my DL a little because I have an out of state DL with my current address on it. I told him this is how the DMV gave it to me when I did change of address. Then he asked me if I am ready and I said as ready as I will ever be. I actually did the writing part 1st- Citizens can Vote, then Read- Who can vote.

The questions followed which I don't remember all 6 but here goes

What is the highest court.

Who was brought to American as slaves

Who is the VP now

Why did he colonist fight the british

and 2 others ....I got all right, then we went over the application. He made a couple corrections, as I made errors on the form and then paper came printing, he asked me to verify my name and DOB and sign and said this is what would be on my certificate. Then he handed me a paper that said I had been approved and he followed me to the exit.

By 10 am I was out the building, on my way home. He also did not ask me for any additional information. The entire interview seemed like a conversation and very relaxed. Now to just patiently wait for the Oath ceremony, which I forgot to ask when would the next one would be.

Hope this helps...Almost over

Just a quick update...its just for FYI purposes as I have not added my information to this board. Did receive bio letter after all on Saturday. It was dated for 05.22.15 but I would be travelling out of state, so I decided to go this morning with my printed itinerary. They didn't even ask one question, to be honest because they were busy I don't even think they noticed. Got there at 8:30 left by 9:30. I was #43 at this time and they open at 8:00 am. My local office is Boston as well. Hope this helps somebody.

So I am an April Filer been lurking on the boards but not actively participating, but by now I should have received a biometrics letter from watching the timeline. Starting to worry a little. ....but my prints are within the 15 months rule, maybe they decided I don't need any.

Received my greencard in mail on friday, just in time for new job tomorrow. So glad I'm done with uscis for now. Then again only 5 months till citizenship application.

Came home to my approval letter. Date of approval 10.30.2014. Please update.

P.s. my approval came from Boston office not Vermont. So guess my case got transferred without even me knowing.

just for information purposes. my friend got approved from vermont. 2 weeks shy of 6 months from biometrics.she did bio in February.

did bio today.....regular date.....took like 20mins.

We are patiently or impatiently (early walk in) waiting to do biometrics.....then we will have lots of movement. I have 2 more weeks of waiting for bio or 3 to be exact to get my bio done. Then I will move on to stalking the uscis website with tracking my case.....can't wait to be over with this.

Came home to a lovely mail biometrics 06.04.2014

Where is my Biometrics letter VSC?

I've been waiting so long

We are in the same boat... everyday I watch my mailbox. Hoping bio is in June and not July when I have a trip planned...but knowing my luck I might have to do early bio, which is hard in boston.

Just received my NOA 1!!!!!I :wub:

:joy:

Im so HAPPY :goofy:

Congrats. .....took vsc long enough.

please add to list......got noa1 receipt date 04.16.2014.....yaaayyyyy.....

Nice

Same here, no letter yet

Never been so happy to get my money spent. Hopefully letter is on its way. Maybe Saturday arrival or Monday . I'm 2 states away from vermont. So hoping that works in my favour.

Check finally cashed today.

Hi Kelad. We filed two days before you and are also waiting for any sign of activity. Patience seems to be the name of this game. I note ones that filed on the 8th are starting to hear so our time is coming soon

Yes I guess so. I realise that maybe this week something might happen. Seem like early dates getting some activity. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Well its the end of the week and still no check cashed. Oh well. Maybe next week. No noa1 either. My daily joy and disappointment is checking my mailbox.

I feel ur urgency. I have no idea why they become slow. All I know they got slower after Easter. I think they are extending their holiday & not working on our applications. They don't even want to cash our checks!!! (They don't like money!!!)

Lol.... I am thinking the same thing re: our checks saying they don't even want it. I expected my check to be cashed like a day or 2 after package arrived, but they don't want to take our money. Driving me nuts.

VSC need to speed up... It's frustrating

Yes they need too. Need my noa1 for work. That's all I really want. Do u know why they are going so slow.

Im still here waiting too. No cashed check and no noa1. At this point I am about ready to spend my money....I hope I dont. Reminding myself everyday that its uscis money and not mine.

I would say give it until next Wednesday... Looking at the date you sent it... I mail mines out 04/04/2014 they received it on 04/07/2014 and I didn't get extension letter until exactly 1 week later 04/14/2014...

U sent on the 04/08/2014... When did Vermont received your package ????

i sent on the 12 and they received it on the monday 14 that is at 2pm

Its almost a week since I sent my package in and check still hasn't been cashed as yèt. Thought the electronic process for clearing checks was faster. Oh well I really just need my extension letter for work, wish they would hurry up..
