Dear John,

Am from the Philippines, my Priority Date is July 1998 under F2B visa. My father, who is a green card holder stays at Sacramento California. He is not working eversince he suffered from stroke (3 times). Will it affect my petition for visa? Is it necessary for the petitioner to be employed when the cut-off date reaches the PD? Will my father’s employment/non-employment affects the visa interview?

Thanks John and hope to receive your reply soon….

Cheers,
BP07

any idea of how much longer, after a case is current, may expect to get the visa?

Hi, does anyone know how long after it takes to receive an appointment letter when your PD is current?

Well Omid you have to get an appointment to go for an interview and if you qualify only then you will receive your visa. But I don’t know how long it takes to be called for an interview when your case is current that is my question i hope someone answers.

My Pitition file under F3 catagory on July 2002 [india],
HOw much time takes for visa or ds230 form.

Linda, I believe it is an average of 60 days before you get notice of appointment. Let us know how long yours takes.

Thanks PD24O2O6 I will definitely let everyone know the time it takes. I can’t wait. 6O days thats almost another two months of waiting oh what the hell i waited eight years lol.

Hello! Uncle SAM,
I don’t quite understand, why to date my nieces and nephews have not been given appointment for interviews or visas? I pettitioned my brother in 1979 together with his siblings, minors at that time and my brother was admitted in the US in Jan. 2000 after 21 years waiting leaving his children behind because they are no longer minors. He repetitioned them in April 2000 F2 categor, Philippens. How long his children (unmarried) have to wait before they can have appointment letters. Please advise. Thanks,
Noe

NoeMilano I think they are working on March, 2ooo for that category so only a month away for them to start on your PD keep your chin up.

Also check the travel.state.gov website to see the visa bulletin updates.

Hi John,

I am a nurse in the Philippines,EB3. My PD is currently within the visa bulletin 01/2009. I am waiting for my packet 4 when I received a notice from NVC that my petition was sent back to USCIS. After long years of waiting……! Would I call/write USCIS/NVC and ask the reason for this? My agent does not have any idea why it was returned back.Pls advise.

I have a f4 petition from my brother usa citizen. I applied in Jan 1997. does any body know is this visa moving a little fast or when the visa number will become priority?
Alguien sabe cuanto tardara aproximadamente en llegar la visa f4? Thanks, Gracias.

I marry my girlfriend. Anybody know how long do I have to wait for employment authorization? and How long do I have to wait before I go out of the country? Thanks

thanks Linda
my PD is july 28, 2002 and the category is F1, i hope to get the notice in a months or two, anyway i will let you know too.

Linda, thank you for the information. The January 2009 bulletin however shows 01 Sept. 1997 for category F2-B, Philippines. It seems to me this will take another 3 to 4 years waiting.

Hi,
I just want to know if it will affect my pending petition from my parents. I have been petitioned by my parents 10yrs ago. Recently, I have been denied twice by the us embassy here in manila using the Training visa (courtesy of my employer’s). Will that affect my pending petition?
Thanks!

I am working in Saudi Arabia on Visit Visa basis from 29 12 2008 i have came here on visit basis on behalf of a company and working there. Co have given a return ticket on 31 march 09. Company people are saying that they will convert into resident visa within 3 months or i have to go back to India after 3 months and again i have to come on original visa. What about bringing the family to KSA after converting into resident visa only is is possible to bring my family or i can bring on visit basis before convertion into my original visa.

Hi Don R
it has nothing to do with your immigrant visa petition.

Hi There,
I just want to know why a petionner with an application from a relative that is not US Citizen cannot be allowed/granted temporary employement (EAD) if there are in the US (legally (any form)) while waiting for cutt-off date that is closed to their priority date before they attempt to apply for an adjustment of status?

Rajesh Nair,

This website is concerned with visa bulletins to the United States of America, not Saudi Arabia.

As for the residency visa in KSA, it’s fairly easy to obtain and your company’s will sort it out for you. You can try to bring your family members now on any visa category, as all visas are convertible while being in KSA.

the visa bulletin for February is out and every other category move except the f3 category hey f3 people it seems as if we are in for a rough year like last year when we only move for 2 two month is there any one out there that can explain this for me

hey carlosb u r right man..all the categories have been moved but not ours.it have become habit of them not to move this f3 category file.can u please tell me your priority date??mine is 12 sep??so should i have to get worry about it??

mine pd is 12 sep 2000.

hey rakesh my priority date is nov 24 2008
so count your self as being lucky because it seems like you will be getting you paper some time this year even if the national visa center only move 2 two months for this year. but i think all f3 sponsor need to lobby their congress man to carry out an investigation about what is really happening in the f3 category

Hi, i am in an F3 category (Philippines) my priority date is Sept.24,1993. As of Jan. 2009 the priority date is June 01,1991. I would like to ask a favor from you if you could possibly tell me when will be my visa be released. Or at least the estimate when will it be? Thanks &morepower. Charmel.

you are right carlosb we all shud cotact our congressman and find out wat the hell going on with f3 category

what’s your priority date BELLA?

when do u all expect my visa call to come?my priority date is (25 OCT 2000). (F2B)my paper works are over…

Hi guys, I had promised when I get an appointment date I would say so. Well I did my PD only became current this January for the F1 category and I have an appointment for March this year but the only disappointment is that my brother didnt get his appointment and we were sponsored at the same time.

MR.ESSA

Nobody here will be able to tell you when you will become current, the way the F visas are moving, dont look at anytime soon, but then again it could be next month. Predicting the visa bulletin is like weather prediction in the 12 century, mostly guessing, a little bit of luck and not one solid point of refernce. Sorry to rain on your parade. ( Punn intended )

thanks a lot Linda,

may i ask what is your exact PD and the date of interview. my case is F1:july 27,2002, so i would appreciate if you let us know whenever your brother got his.

Hi ,

Our PD is November,1992 when it gonna have to wait the PD until now it almost 16 years waiting. We just want to know how long it will takes to wait. I know it takes only 10 years for F3 category to process the visa. Why is so long.

I would appreciate if you will prioritize my concern.

Thank you very much.
