Final Action is when a visa is available to the beneficiary.

 

Dates for filing is when the NVC will start accepting paperwork for the visa application.  The beneficiary must wait until the Final Action date for a visa.

Ok, great.  Thank you for your help.

Hello again.

So I asked NVC. They sent me an email. My priority date is May 23, 2011.

On the June 2017 Visa bulletin, under "FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED   PREFERENCE CASES"

the date for my class, F1, shows December 22, 2010. 

Under the other listing "DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS", the date is July 22, 2011.

What's the difference here? 

Thanks in advance.

I was 27 and yes, my father was a citizen.

Ok, great! I'll do that.

Lain, thanks for you help.

I didn't actually see the letter. However, if it the same date that I see when I input that code that starts with "WAC" on the USCIS "check my status" section, then it should be June 26, 2014. The notice on the website confirms that USCIS approved the petition on that date.

Thank you both.

Jamaicakim, what exactly is the priority date?

Hello participants.

I am hoping to get some advice from someone. 

The USCIS confirmed that an I-130 petition for me was approved in June, 2014. They also confirmed that a confirmation letter was mailed to my father's address in the US (as he is the one doing the filing). He is a naturalized U.S. citizen for over 20 years. I am Jamaican, live in Jamaica. I was born out of wedlock and I am over 21 years old and unmarried (not sure if this is relevant to the case at hand).

My question is, what is the next step? And is this delay to be informed of the next step normal? It has now close to 3 years.

Thank you for your advice.
