    We are really not sure about Rohit Kumar’s comments. There is another possibility here; we may not have anyone with Dec. 2000 PD in this forum.

  23. Pooyan
    August 4th, 2009 at 08:21 | #23

    Chita. Have you already seen the visa bulletin for SEPT. 2009? Because you said F3 would be Nov. 08, 2000. How do you know that?

  24. chita
    August 4th, 2009 at 11:42 | #24

    To Pooyan
    I never see VB for SEP-2009. Cut-off date are always 1st, 8th, 15th & 22th in month. Visa Office bases on those Cut-off date to devide those qualified files into 4 groups. Group 1 w/cut-off date = 1st includes qualified files w/PD from 1st to 7th in month. Group 2 (cut-off date =8th) includes files w/PD from 8th to 14th in month …. Group 4 (cut-off date = 22th) haves files w/pd from 22th to the end of month.
    As far as i know, most of files belongs to Group 2 of Nov-2000 just completed and none of them receives interview letter. So i assume VB for F3 in Sept must be 8 November.

    To Chita: When my father applied for me, he had a Green Card and I was not married. During the process my father became a citizen, so my case was changed to F1. My immigration case was approved on Sept. 8, 2005. In 2006 I got married and we sent a letter to the Visa Center and they changed my category to F3. My PD is Feb. 16, 2001. How long do you think it would take for me take the visa if the process remains slow?

    Ask your petitioner about I-797 then request Notice Date.
    CSPA :
    X = Notice Date – Priority Date
    Y = Current Date – Date of Birth
    Your real CSPA age : Y – X.
    sure, you will —-> USA, haha

    August 9th, 2009 at 17:00 | #42

    Krupal Patel, if there are 300,000 files till 2009, then it would take 12 years. Funny. I think you are making mistake somewhere. The formula is easy: 300,000 / 23400 = 12 Years.

    To answer your 300,000 file questions, need to answer the following question first :
    i. Why had there a huge number of F3 files in short period only ?
    ii. Why did F3′ petitioner not to apply before ? be restricted or not to be allowed ?
    iii. If they were US citizen before, they had the right to do it. If not,US Goverment prevented them became US citizen ?
    iiii. At last, if this really happened, it won’t impact on your file too much. Most of them are mexican or Chinese so their file will be control strictly by per- country limit.

    I copy pasted the following data from March visa bulletin and welcome any number crunching and prediction as to how visa numbers are going to be allocated in FY2010.

    “The Department of State requested that the National Visa Center at Portsmouth, New Hampshire provide the totals of applicants on the waiting list in the various numerically-limited family immigrant categories. Those totals are listed below, and reflect persons registered under each respective numerical limitation, i.e., the totals represent not only principal applicants or petition beneficiaries, but their spouses and children entitled to derivative status under INA 203(d) as well. It should be noted that applications for adjustment of status under INA 245 which are pending at Citizenship and Immigration Services offices are not included in the totals which are being presented at this time.
    Family-Sponsored Preference Categories

    F1: 228,787
    F2A: 322,212
    F2B: 481,726
    F3: 484,230
    F4: 1,206,397
    Total: 2,723,352

    The ten countries with the highest number of waiting list registrants are listed below; together these represent 75.4% of the Department of State total. This list includes all countries with at least 45,000 persons on the waiting list. INA 202 sets an annual limit on the amount of family-sponsored preference visas which may be issued to applicants from any one country; the 2009 per-country limit is 15,820.”

    Mexico 961,744
    Philippines 401,849
    Dominican Republic 136,070
    China 132,325
    India 115,394
    Vietnam 109,910
    Bangladesh 50,275
    Haiti 50,029
    El Salvador 48,776
    Pakistan 45,905
    All others 671,075
    Total 2,723,352
