@slightlymad Nice being here. My PD is 12th Aug. 2015(F2A category) Got approved 31st December 2015. When do you predict I will be called up for interview. thanks. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 4:00pm On May 06, 2016 |
fx4tified:you can follow the visa bulletin here https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/law-and-policy/bulletin.html it is not predictable but F2As take less than 2 years. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 8:27pm On May 06, 2016 |
Next month bulletin released this evening, it has been updated here sorry for F2As, it moved by just 1 week F2B & F1 moved by 7 weeks F3 stayed put, i wonder who dem offend F4 by 2 weeks |

@chokey419 what category are you? |

Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 9:47pm On May 11, 2016 |
fx4tified: final action is when the embassy can invite you for interview dates for filing is when NVC can reach out to you to pay fees and send in documents. after NVC's CC (Case Complete) NVC contacts lagos embasy to schedule a date for your interview. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 12:17pm On May 21, 2016 |
@slightlymad thanks alot. On the June 2016 visa bulletin my PD falls below the cut off date on the Dates for filing Application chart. i.e PD is Aug. 2015/ Date of filing Application moved to Oct. 2015. Questions: Firstly, does it mean i will be contacted by NVC in June to begin my application process even without my PD being current yet? Secondly, how long does the process till interview take? Thanks. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 1:57pm On May 21, 2016 |
fx4tified: get the petitioner to get your case number (the number starting with either WAC, LIN, SRC, EAC, etc depending on center he filed your case) go to https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do type in the case number and check the status of your case. if you get "my case was approved" then your case should now be with DOS Once your case is with the department of state's NVC you/petitioner should get a new number LGS200XXXXXXX LGS=lagos embassy, so your case info will be available on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ it is only when your case is with NVC that you can expect an email from NVC based on the published date of filling you should set your email address with NVC using form Ds-261 on that page if your case is still being processed by USCIS, you need to call USCIS to ask why, they are actually very nice people and can speed up your case |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 2:15pm On May 21, 2016 |
Thanks for your prompt response. Yes, got my case approved on 31th Dec.,2015. DOS confirmed receipt of my case and send a letter on 25th Jan., 2016. Also got my NVC case number starting with LGS.... Last letter received from NVC states that "This petition will be eligible for a visa number and further processing once your priority date is earlier than the cut-off date listed in the current edition of the visa bulletin." This is it so far so what do you think? |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 4:11pm On May 21, 2016 |
opps! you will get an email next month, sorry i did not read your questions clearly |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 5:54pm On May 21, 2016 |
more like it, tnx. Do you have any idea how long the whole NVC process will take from payment, application till interview? |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 11:10pm On May 26, 2016 |
fx4tified: depending on how quick you respond. when you send your documents in, it takes roughly 3 weeks to 1 month to get update your category will move drastically in the coming months. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by bokohaman: 1:08am On May 27, 2016 |
@op...have u heard of this site? myprioritydate.com?...how effective is it?....the site is used to calculate the period when ones priority date will be current...the site is cool |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by bokohaman: 1:23am On May 27, 2016 |
@fxftified...your case is likely to be current by june2017
...using myprioritydate.com to calculate it |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 12:57pm On May 30, 2016 |
@bokohaman thanks for ur opinion but i think ur estimation for my PD might be way too far. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 1:11pm On May 30, 2016 |
slightlyMad: I agree with you @slightlymad because the upcoming US election have increased the rate of due applicants for naturalization/citizenship which in turn would be favorable to the upcoming Visa bulletins. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 3:22pm On May 30, 2016 |
fx4tified: i seriously doubt this because naturalization is handled by a very different department entirely, i.e department of homeland security The visa bulletin we watch here is from department of state i am guessing based on visajourney.com's predictions located here http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/visa-bulletin-predictions-family-sponsored.php Visajourney gets their predictions from people who update their profile with interview dates they get from NVC, even when they are not yet current. so if someone who has 4 months to become current based on bulletin gets interview date set 2 months away you can be sure that next months movement will be roughly 2 month, then the next, another 2 months movement. this has to be because you wont be interviewed unless you are current. |

Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by slightlyMad(f): 9:38pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
F1 moved by 9 weeks for july 2016 bulletin released today Sorry fx4tified, F2A moved by 1 week F2B by 6weeks F3 stagnant F4 by 4 weeks |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 9:49pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
slightlyMad: yea seen that earlier. So sad. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by chokey419(m): 9:50pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
cool, moving slowly but surely. |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 10:00pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
aren't there other 2015 F2A waiters/filers in the house who can come share about their process so far? |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by Nobody: 11:38am On Jun 09, 2016 |
Good afternoon,and thanks for the response and comments so far,,i just have a little problem that im seeking your advise.i applied for a conference visa sometime last year and i was denied,my wife who is a green card holder and a citizen last year decembe(dow she hasnt started filing for her citizenship,but she is eligible) now decides to file for me,i learnt the filling takes time,say a year atleast and could extend to 3/4yrs.now my question is,should she invite me and try our luck or she should just go on with the filling,don't want to stay away from her for 3/4 yrs,cos she may not be coming to Nigeria anytime soon,she has phobia for flying.please your advise is seriously needed |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 10:01am On Jun 10, 2016 |
mamaya: You should just go ahead with the filing because the early the better. Also she could begin her naturalization process which if she eventually succeeds automatically takes you off the visa waiting list. 1 Like |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by Nobody: 11:03am On Jun 10, 2016 |
fx4tified:Thanks for the response and please I need to get something's cleared from your answer.so if she gets to nationalize herself,before filling for me,how long will it take for me to join her?I mean at most.and is it neccesary s he does that before filling.finally if she invites me before the filling,will that have any negative influence on the filling .thanks God bless |
Re: US Family Preference Visa Waiters Lounge by fx4tified: 1:04pm On Jun 10, 2016 |
mamaya: Firstly, this could be done simultaneously. she could start by filing for you under the F2A category while her naturalization could also be in process. Secondly, all of the processes take some time just that some are shorter than the others. So, i'll advise you focus on the processes rather than time. Thirdly, the chances of you getting a visa while you have a pending petition is like having uninterrupted power supply in nigeria ![]() Just my opinion. 1 Like |
