Hello VJ. How long does it take NVC to send file to the embassy? We got our NOA2 August 14 and so with the hard copy.. Appreciate for any replies TIA

Congrats for getting ur NOA2. You will get and email regarding your AOS so you can send them you tax returns for the last 3 years and than you will get the immigrant visa fee application. After paying the immigrant visa fees your case will be sent to USCIS and they will process it and that will take up to 4 weeks to be processed. Once your case is complete than they will schedule interview and your case will be than forwarded to the appropriate embassy. Wish you good luck !

This is great news, because this might mean that the retrogression might be back to Oct 2012 as otherwise NVC might not have scheduled your wife's interview if they knew a visa number wouldnt be available for her by the time of the interview.

As for your question....if by the day of the interview, Oct 6th, the cut off date has been set to before your wife's PD and therfore her PD is no longer current, then it is my understanding that she might go through the interview and get her approval. But if her PD is not current, then that means that a visa number is not available. If that is the case, then I think she wouldn't get the stamp in her passport, meaning she wouldn't immediately get the visa; she would have to wait until her PD is current to go back to the embassy and get the stamp in her passport and wait for the package to arrive.

Since NVC probably already knows what the cutt off date will be as they are the ones who decide it, then it would be illogical for them to schedule an interview knowing a visa wont be available for you at the time. So that is why, some people believe that this means that the cut off date will most likely be set to a date where your PD is current, so the cut off date to be established might be on or after your PD. That would be great news, as it is a full year jump from what the last cut off date established in July was. I hope this is the case, because my wife's PD is November 2012.

Well i hope so too that on her interview date the visa will be available for her. Finger crossed hoping that retrogression goes to nov 2012 so in that case it will be good news for most of us who will be having interview in the month of october. I wish good luck to everyone who got their interview letter for the month of october. God bless!

Thanks everyone.. Keeping my fingers crossed for the interview and hoping that my wife will get a visa so she can come and be with me forever

If this will be the case, I'm sure she will have her visa by then . Good luck!

Can you tell us about your timeline just for our future reference. thanks.

i did just now ..

In my opinion, NVC already knows the date of retrogression that's why they're giving out interviews for October. If ever, the retro will set back before your wife's priority date, even she passed her interview, her visa will be placed on hold until her priority date becomes current again.

Thanks for the reply, as i keep checking the visa bulletin predictions for the month of October it says that F2A will go to Nov 08 2012.. so if that happens than it will be above my wife's priority date which is 19th oct 2012 and in this case after passing her interview she will get her visa for sure. Am i right?

Hello Folks! Just wanted to share that my wife's interview is received and its on oct 2013 .. Yay soooo Happppyyyyyy... Can't wait to see her in the states!!!! BTW my wife is in Afghanistan and on F2A visa... just a question since her priority date is 19th oct 2012 and she has interview on 6th oct 2013, if the visa bulleting for the month of october is not current for F2A so will she still get the immigrant visa after her interview ?????/ I'm so concerned about this.. can someone help me by answering to this

Hi, I don't know how long NVC will take to schedule your interview. However can you let me know your priority date? Thanks

Hello, sorry i forgot to mention the priority date, its 19th october 2012
