Well, having given out zero IL's this week, NVC should be well rested and ready to bring the rain next week.

Guys - Did you all see the Septembers visa bulletin? Not sure what they mean by saying "upcoming" when they have issued the report.

EB3 "India" went back another 6 months. 

 

Upcoming just indicates that it's for the next month (we're not in September yet). Our EB dates progressed significantly in this bulletin, in comparison to August. And all ROW EB categories should be current as of October.

it says your interview date was provided to you by NVC, but i haven't received any date yet.

I think the actual email is quite delayed. You should receive it sometime within the next 24 hours.

Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center. 

Guys please check you NVC case status, Mine just changed to In transit. Priority date June 28th

Mine is still At NVC  But that's very promising, so I'm going to keep checking!

@BurBur - Did you end up getting the actual IL email?

@can2us_ my PD is in 2016 so it has always been current. But according to previous trend if anyone got Sep dates, we should have heard already. The dates for EBs usually come out 6-9th day of the month. Thoughts?

Yea, I guess I was still holdin' out some hope . Partly because I've also been watching the CR1/IR1 group, and nobody in there (or here) has heard anything from Montreal yet this month. So I was thinking they may not have done their scheduling yet.

So EB2 progressed by a full year in the Sept visa bulletin that came out today. This helps me as I have a Aug 2017 priority date. Hopefully it helps others too. Maybe we have some hope of getting a few EB2'ers in for interviews in September?

I'm curious - what are most people's priority dates that are currently waiting?

Visa bulletin is for August 2019. Will there be any impact for applicant with July interview date (e.g. reschedule interview or delay in visa issuance)?

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you're still current as of July.

@can2us_ are you a EB also? Are you waiting for interview at Montreal too? If so, could you please share your CC date?

Sorta... I'm petitioning my wife in a process called follow-to-join. I'm currently in the US and received my GC in the EB2 category last October. Follow-to-join allows me to bring my wife down via consular processing with the NVC, and she is given the same preference category and PD as me (EB2 - Aug 2017). 

This process is less common than others, so I'm not convinced everything is handled exactly the same as a standard EB2. But from what I can tell, she's basically going to be processed as an EB2, similar to everyone on this thread.

As for CC, ours is June 21.

Do you think retrogression will be changed by September? Very disappointed 

I think the fiscal year for USCIS/NVC ends in Sept, and the next year starts in Oct. So if this follows the same pattern as previous years, we'll all be current again at the beginning of October.

I don't know what that means for interviews. I.e. whether or not any of us will get an interview prior to October. Or, if they're going to wait to schedule until then. I guess we should find out this week if/when they send out IL's to any of us.

Looks like EB visas just retrogressed for August. I'm assuming this will affect all of use who are waiting for EB interviews in Montreal.
