Visa Grant

agnar
What uday said is correct..but ur sister after getting I-130 approved (Hopefully within 7 months) has to submit more forms...if she is in US with valid status, then she can submit the Adjustment forms, but she will only get her visa when the Priority date is current as per Visa Bulletin released every month. But if she moves back to India, then she can go through the consular processing by submitting the DS-230 & DS-3032 forms to the NVC, which inturn sends the entire casefile to your nearest US embassy in India for final Visa Interview..

Based on the data, the only analysis which can inferred is that retrogression will last at a minimum of 6 months and should be over within 1yr..
Right now there is no data for Priority dates which are same for few months..This we are seeing right now..So, Still PD for F4 in March Bulletin is a Mystery..

Happy New Year especially to my Fellow F4 VJ filers for the amount of Patience this Visa Category requires. I wish and Hope the Patience be rewarded for the upcoming F4 Visa Interviews in New year..

Call NVC(1-603-334-0700) right away and provide your USCIS case number and then u will get ur NVC Case Number. While talking to the operator, provide the email address of Beneficiary(Ur Mother) and the Petitioner(Ur Uncle). As ur PD(Priority Date) is still a year away, NVC will contact you through ur email around 9-12 months before the PD is current.
Check my latest post above regarding the timeline. That is the time line of VJ CSPA expert "Udaypannu"...U will get answers from the expert later..
Family Based is not connected to student visa. In your case, your uncle has petitioned for your mother and u r part of the derivative category.Your Interview will be based on the Country of Birth. You are the Best Judge of ur decision..
Welcome safshaikh
Pretty good progress on your timeline..
Coming to ur question, Yes, there would be some amount of delay due to the missing photos and also due to the holiday season.As such F4 category is dependant on the visa availability, the priority date has to be current as per Visa Bulletin... which means even though if ur case is complete, NVC will not schedule the Interview unless the PD is current..Just make sure u immediate goal is to get a SIF and case complete..
Then ur good to go..

Uday
This is not my prediction but an estimation based on other VJ'ers timeline.
Per your timeline IV took 17 days to enter into NVC system. If your IV was delivered at NVC on 11/17 + 14 days = December 3th. This is the date NVC will enter your IV into their system. After that it takes usually 6-7 days for SIF ie. 12/10. So you should probably have your SIF on December 10th (if you don't get any RFE, hopefully not) and then after a day or two (usually) you will have your CC ( Case Complete) on December 12th..
Keep checking the Online Portal and let us know the good news..
Good Luck.

Did you call NVC(603-334-0700) and provide them the email address for the beneficiary and petitioner? If not, do it right away..
Do not 'wait' on anything via postal mail from NVC - it slows down the processing time, about 3 months, rather u can do everything online from now onwards - and there are 3 things to follow.
You should be'pro-active',instead of reactive and push things INTO NVC based on payment status at the online payment portal or the Affidavit of Support.
and note that the 'downloaded barcode coversheets' contain instructions on 'what to do' for 'each step'.
First
Check the below link
DS 3032 Email
and then send the DS 3032 form through your (beneficiary)email address asap to NVC Email
Then NVC will send the kit via email and you should start assembling all the below documents..
--Original Marriage certificate
--Photocopy of Marriage Certificate
--Original Birth Certificate
--Photocopy of Birth Certificate
--Original Police Clearance Certificate from Local Police Station.
--Original Police Clearance Certificate from Regional Passport Office.
--Photocopy of beneficiary's Indian passport.

RICARDO4EVA2 is right..
Uday, check for I-864 bar code coversheet from the online payment site and then print and express mail the entire I-864 (Affidavit of Support) Package to NVC.
Write NVC Case Number on the top right hand corner of all pages of the I-864 Package and supplemental pages (tax invoices, employment letter, etc.)
For DS 230, If the payment shows as paid, print out IV bill bar code coversheet from the online payment site. You have to attach the original PC, so, u have to wait for that.
Meanwhile after mailing I-864, Keep calling NVC and check whether their system is updated for your I-864..

The NVC uses DHL to ship their packages. Once you confirm the date from NVC that case was sent to your embassy/consulate, you can go on the DHL website to approximately track your case. There are forums here talking about it but I'll sum it up below.
1. Go to: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef
2. In Reference, enter the info as follows:
EXP DD MMM YYYYA
EXP is constant
DD is the date before the day the NVC said they shipped the case.
MMM is the three letters representing the month the NVC shipped the case
YYYY is the year the NVC shipped the case
A is constant
For example, if the NVC says they shipped the case on February 12 2009, this would be entered as "EXP 11 FEB 2009A"
3. Date range for shipment - From: Enter the date of the day NVC said they sent the case
4. Date range for shipment - To: Enter todays date
5. Keep the rest of the fields blank
7. Once you enter the info, press "Track"
8. After a while you will see a list of all of the packages that left the NVC today. You need to search for the specific consulate, in your case Lima?
9. When you find the shipment the corresponds to your consulate, you will see the tracking number that you can record.
10. You can then track the shipment from the NVC to your specific Consulate

When the NVC will send You the instructions to file the affidavit of support I-864 that will be the best time, have the copy of the Birth Certificate of the additional child handy to provide NVC.
Did you check with NVC whether your approved petition has reached them?
