Good luck for the interview. I knew it that you will be here way before Christmas time for sure so get your things ready for the interview. Thanks.

Hi Vivek,We all got the visa yesterday.All six of us,I have to say thank you for being supportive through all these years.I will be commming to the USA next month after Diwali.

Congratulation! Finally everything is over and you guys are on your way to USA. I am sure you guys are delighted that everything went well in terms of interview process. Wish you all the best in future endeavors.

my brother from the philippines is an F2B petition... i was wondering if anyone can help me find what date they are processing currently.. thank you very much.. he was petitioned july 6, 1999

With current trends of retrogressions I hope he gets his AOS no sooner than in XXII century.

Check this link for visa bulletin for the month of October.

for PHILIPPINES, they are processing around 22 JUL 96.

Yes we are so happy everything went well.

thank you so much.. that address told me a lot.. i appreciate it i have another question... by any chance do u know how fast the processing is going?? say 3 more years of wait for my brothers petition?

F2B was stall in early part of the year but during last four months it is going at really good pace so you should be getting an interview call in 2008 or early 2009 at this pace. But keep checking visa bulletin every month. It is updated between 10th and 15th of the month and you will have good idea when to expect a visa interview. Good Luck.

you've been a huge help.. thanks vivek... my parents will be happy when i tell them about this, now that we know how to get a status of the petition.. thanks again.. ill be checking regularly!

Hey Vivek I just pop in to see how things going here.How's your sister adjusting to life in the USA?Is she working already?I heard it is getting cold these days.We'll be seeing that country that the world wants to go to by month end or early next month.Can't wait to see JFK airport(lol)

Hey good to see you again on board. She is doing fine and looking for the job and yes it is already getting around 50’s F in the morning in NYC. Also, don’t worry you would see land of opportunity very soon and JFK will be a unique experience since it is always crowded. Good luck and welcome to USA and hope your dream comes true in the land of opportunities.

my other brother is actually resides in canada.. he's been staying there for almost 2 yrs as an immigrant. What would be the best way for him to visit US?

Hi Vivek,I hope you still check in here.I have my green card today and social too after 2 wke and 3 days some of my kids have theirs too.Two of them still awaiting theirs.We are planning to go to Georgia to see if we can reside there for NY is so cold.What do you think the kids are not yet in school or me and hubby isn't working yet either.How's your sister managing with the cold weather.

Hi Sunita,

Welcome to USA. Winter is NY is always been cold and still temperature is not that cold so I will enjoy it while it last. My sister has started working in retail business right now before she finds something appropriate for her. About Georgia, I have seen lots of people migrating to GA from NYC so I am sure it must be nice, warm and lots of opportunity available down there. And about how is she is managing cold weather, she keep her self bundled even though temperature is in 50’s.
