visa bulletin up - 22 August

My brother was at his post two years ago and he also was 22 when my mother went to the interview, the consul asked for him and my mother told him that he was married and the consul said oh ok, so now he can not be at the case, but if he had not been married the consul was giving the visa. in my case I was 27 and I was rejected.....i'm sorry my english but i'm dominican and don't know a lot english

I hope that my case can help you

So they really accept if a child's not over 22??? I was born in 1990 but my CSPA age is just 21 and a half.

I'm sure your sister is over 21 because we're on the same boat. However I've been in the US for 5 years, almost finish my study and prepare to come back to my home country. So I don't know what will happen if my PD becomes current.

Do not speak unless you got information. I was told on two occasions that once my I-94 is valid and PD becomes current, I would have to submit I-485, copy of approval, and $1070 to make adjustment in USA. So i guess its up to whomever who wants to spend the extra $1070. Have a great night

I agree with you. My brother, my sister and I are studying in the US and we're waiting for the visa of F2A. Our PDs are in Sept and Oct.

My sister even adjusted her status once when she changed from tourist visa to student visa. It took about 1 month to adjust.

So they send out the IL in 1 day or several days?

I hope it can reach 8 Sept.

maybe 8 or 15 August...

My PD is 7 Sept but maybe I'm over aged for F2A. But my younger brother and I have the same PD.

Your mom is right. Keep in order to file the form I-485 and Adjust your Status you MUST be in legal status when the priority date becomes current - No Option. This means you should continue to attend school and keep your F-1 status active. I agree that America can be boring sometimes... After all it's a place where we work work work .. go to school.. and have little time to have fun.. away from work. many would say you work to pay your bills.. or you work and dont have the free time to even spend the money.

I know I must remain my F1 status to be legal in the US, but I'm confused about the aged-out problem. I don't know if my brother has applied the I-485 or not because the retrogression last year made everything complicated.

Everyone in my family is aware of aged-out problem but maybe I should confront my brother and ask him directly.

Hello all, I've watched for this topic for nearly 6 months and this is my first post.

I'm an international student and I come to the US under F1 visa for non-immigration. I've been in the US for 4 years and now I'm waiting to get the GC.

My dad is a GC holder. My pd is 7 Sept 2010, and it was approved on Jan 2011. My birthday is 11 Nov 1990 and I think I'll be aged out in the next month.

My older brother who is the US citizen told our mom that I wouldn't be aged out but I don't know how. I don't think I can ask him because he wants me to focus on studying instead of these stuffs.

I want to get the GC early to get out of this country because I got stuck in here for too long and it makes me feel really boring. I have to stay in the US until my pd becomes current so that I just need to fill in the form I-485 to adjust my status. It's what I heard from my mom, I don't know whether it's true or not.
