I am starting a new thread to track cases from NVC - embassy to GC.
The best news for RN in China, Phillippines and India has been great and informative thread, but I think it is more appropriate and convenient if we start a new thread.
Also with the rapid scheduling of interviews for most of us, I am looking beyond the CP and anticipating the GC!
The August interview schedules are out already in India, and recently in the Philippines and hopefully in China.
Here is my case details
Category : EX Schedule A
USCIS receipt : April 2004
Processing Center : Vermont
I-140 approved : October 2004
NVC case number : MNL2004813XXX
NVC forwarded packet 3 : April 5, 2005
Packet 3 sent back to NVC : May 3, 2005
NVC case completed : May 16, 2005
Consular Interview : August 29, 2005
Visa received : ???
Date of entry in the US :???
GC receive : ????
I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
Not sure where in the world that you are getting your information from, but there is not one person that was petitioned last summer that has received a green card at all.
There are still some actually waiting that were submitted before the retrogression began in 10/2006 that still do not have the green card.
Please take the time to check your information before posting.
I second this. We know a few people with 2006 PDs and whose I-485 cases are not even lined-up with an adjudicator and being asked to check again in 4-6 months.
There are only x amounts of adjudicators who can only handle x amounts of I-485 cases at at time. If they are being told that they are not even in the queue then it means it is really backlogged.
I think many still do not get what the impact of the 800k or so who filed for AOS last July and Aug. 2007. Majority of those who filed are actually coming from H1Bs and who have filed their I-140s for a long time. They may even have PDs that are 2-3 years old. That is why there was an argument last year on not to accept those if there are no visas available as they will then be placed in front of the line all of a sudden even if there was no visa available for them in the first place. It's like giving someone a promissory note when you know first hand you can't follow through with it and then even placing them ahead of the people you gave a promise ahead of them and who are in line as well.
And it is still May now and the June VB will not be in effect 'till next month and the whole month. Both May and June VB are still on March, 2006 cut-off dates.
In my opinion, those with Feb. 2006 and below PDs still have some chance to get a scheduled interview date from now until the end of June 2008.
Supposedly, those given interview dates already have reserved visa numbers and should not have their appointments canceled anymore. If they cancel scheduled appointments again just like what they did last year then at least their cases will be in their respective consulates or embassies already and would be faster the next time around (such as in the case of bettyboop) and would not have to deal with the NVC anymore.
yeah..praying for the best..til now no letter yet from NVC..I am on my 3rd or 4th week of waiting for the letter.God bless us all.

mdlr,
Hi. it's been already on the 4th week that the NVC avr says that a letter was mailed on July 2007,.....I called the nvc last week and spoke with the call agent and he told me that the letter was actually mailed last week. So, as of this day the letter is on it's 3rd week. When I asked what are the documents that I need to update , he says it's the ds230.
I am hoping that my lawyer will receive the letter today or within this week... Still hoping for the best! Goodluck.
