Hi?It doesn't matter if he's legitimate or not because you're the one petitioning him.

Hi there!my pd is april 7 2016 and was approved on august 24? at California service ctr.

I'm from Singapore. I was worried for no reason I guess? I was assuming there might be some retrogression for others too in the coming months so I requested for an earlier interview

oh ok? don't worry you're safe.hehe.goodluck?.

Hi Lianne28, Thanks for the info. If my visa interview is scheduled before end of the month, and if approval is granted. Does it mean I won't be affected by the retrogression in June?

Pulled some strings from the US to expedite my visa interview before the end of the month, NVC approved the expedition and working with the embassy to settle the interview the next 2 weeks. I'm just waiting for the official interview letter so I can start my medical. the 24hour time difference between Singapore and the US is making everything slow down.

Crossing all my fingers to receive it soon.

hi,yes i think so you will not be affected by the retrogression as long as your status is issued after your interview. Fyi, only the philippines will have retro in june.what is your country of chargeability?

Thanks for your quick response. Did they specifically ask you for the AOS at the interview or were you the one that initiated giving them the updated AOS without them requesting it?

they did not ask for the aos,i just initiated it.

Hi, I got interviewed yesterday and was approved. Checked ceac now and it says "Issued".

just worrried now since i read the retrogression to yr 2000 for f1 manila.

Will I be affected by the retrogression?

Congrats?no worries it is issued?you will have your visa soon.I got mine after 2 working days from intervw date.

Hi,

I had my interview f1 yesterday and was approved. Checked ceac now and it says "Issued".

However, there is a retrogression to year 2000 for f1 in Visa buletin June 2015.

Is there a possibility I may not get my visa due to retrogression?

I'm worried about this. Please advise. Thanks.

congrats??? no worries, its already issued,you will have your visa soon.?

Hi Guys, I hope someone would know the answer to this. What happens while waiting for interview appointment (case complete at NVC), then a retrogression happens in your visa category during the month of your interview?

Am I still qualified to get a visa during my interview?

Hi, if you were given an interview letter then it means that your pd is current on the month of your interview date and as long as your status in ceac become issued after your interview no worries you will not be affected with retrogression of the next month however if your status is Ap then its a 50/50 chance. In my case my original appointmnt is May 26 but since ive read that there might be a regrogression coming i rescheduled it on MAy 7 just to be safe. Fortunately i already have my visa now while f1 phils retrogress this june back to yr 2000.?

nice! that sounds rather painless, well congrats!

☺️☺️☺️Tnx

Did they ask you to carry the affidavit of support document to the interview?

no,but i brought my updated aos,itr and w2.They did get my w2 n itr and i gave them my updated aos too.

Hi Lianne - that's awesome!!!!!!!! Congrats! It must be an amazing feeling

Can you please share what questions were asked during the interview? I'm sure that there's a set of certain questions FB-1 filers are asked and would be great to have a little cheat sheet

Thanks & congrats again!

Sure?, the consul asked the ff questions:who is the petitioner?what is the job of the petitioner?how many bros n sis do you have?r u in a long term relationship?is he the father of your son?That's all?hehe, then he looked at his monitor and typed something after that, he said your documents are good congratulations your visa is approved.????

My pleasure! Good luck on your interview and please do post your experience here when your visa has been approved

hi mahsam!i had my interview on May 7 and it was fun and great?experience.My visa status was issued on the same date and i hope to get the visa soon?.Thanks again and God bless?

Hi - If you attend your interview while your PD is still current and get approved then you're good. But, if you land up in AP and the category retrogresses for your country and once they complete AP you'll be advised to stand by till FB-1 becomes current again for your country. I hope that helps

Good luck on your interview, fingers crossed you'll be approved and won't have to worry about anything but moving to the US

thanks Mahsam? i will bring all needed documents to avoid AP status.tnx?

hi guys, there is a prediction of retrogression for the next several mos in the phils F1 category,Do you think it will affect the issuance of visa for those with may interview schedule like me?

just wanne let u guys know that usem manilais now open for scheduling for may... so hurry up:-) goodluck to all of us

hi!wats ur pd?n interview sched?mine is may 26.

Hi.

F1 here. Case complete but with some checklist to bring during interview on May 12, 2015.

My question is my petitioner transfered to a different address in the US. This is got to affect the address he wrote on the 864 as well as my ds260. What shall I do?

Please advise. Thanks.

Hi? before your interview with the consul someone will check your ds260 and will ask you for any errors,just tell them about it.

Hi there ,anyone here who was originally under f2b but upgraded to f1?. Im having a problem with my category in ceac bec. Its still under f2b when in fact nvc already sent me a letter informing me that im f1 now since my petitioner naturalized. Im hoping for an interview schedule on march since my pd is current but i think it is impossible if they would not update my category.my petitioner talked to one of their agents and she told her that we sent them an opt out letter which we did not..and that she cannot do anything about it..this is really stressful???

Tnx hura! 5-7 mos is a long wait but im still hoping to have my interview next month though.?

usually they required documents to complete case upto 5-7 month before planned date of interview. if u no catch regress of PD u will got IL in may-july...

Hi there!after case complete how long do i have to wait for the interview letter if my pd is already current?im fr philipines.tnx.

Hi vince! send the civil docs asap, the instructions are availble aftr you paid the ivfee.sayang ang almost 2months na nklipas.?
