Another mini-update:
Really can't vouch for the authenticity of the information but I think it wouldn't hurt if those with 2005 PDs, all the way up tp Dec. call NVC directly. That was taken from a blogger from HLG's blogsite.
Hope, it's true though.
Blogger Aimee said... EB3 Philippines- May 2005 I thought the NVC will process only applications prior to the PDs posted monthly...For October 2008, the PD for EB3 Phils was Jan 2005, and yet my colleague Gay whose PD is Dec.05 was scheduled for an interview in the US Embassy this coming October 21. So to my fellow nurse do not lose hope...

there could be hope as what aimee had said. maybe we just have to cling to our US application. somehow, i hope there's a miracle like any bill that would give another sets of visa.

Hello. Nice to be here again.
I just wanna say congratulations to all those "Immigrant aspirants" whose PDs are now current. Indeed God is so good.
I am optimistic that PDs will still move forward in the coming Visa Bulletins. 4months jump ( From Jan 05 to May 05 ) is a good indication that PDs will advance further more.
Mine is August 2005. Praying and hoping that It shall be current this coming December.Best Christmas gift from Santa Clause if ever.
I wonder how could anyone can get an appointment schedule despite the fact of PD not yet being current. Perhaps a mistake from the NVC, or again, an exception to the general rule. Anyway, Godbless and Hope for the best!!!
Happy Christmas to all in advance.

Nice post, nurseidol.
Yep, precisely. Presuming the info. is true, the only thing I can think of is maybe they are doing things differently that they are not announcing publicly (at least out loud) such as the current change last fiscal year with how the spill-over proceeds.
They suddenly change how spillovers from EB1 are allocated. After years of spilling it over vertically or down from EB1 country -> EB2 country -> EB3 country, they suddenly changed it from all EB1 spillovers to be consumed horizontally to all EB2 countries first (since there were 2 countries there thatwere retrogressed) before they can spill it over down EB3. This is why EB3 ROW did not receive any spillover from EB1 and EB2 ROW (both with unused visas) and did not go to 'current' that everyone is expecting and why EB2 China and EB2 India had a surge in the last qtr. of the fiscal year, where spill-overs of unused EB1 visas is allocated.
I also don't think that it may be an excemption to the rule as Dec. 2005 PD is way too far to skip over everyone in between. If it were true, then I think it is unfair to do so and a formal complaint be sent. Presuming of course that the info. given was true.
The way I see it, the info. is either true or not and if it is then everyone with the same PD and earlier should be given their packet 4 and appointment date (presuming they are on the list of being documentarily qualified), otherwise it would be unfair if that particular person was the excemption to the rule.
Just my two cents.

Hehehe.
I am really wondering how it happened. Maybe we have to verify this again with aimee...Her friend must have a PD of December 2004, and not December 2005. Sometimes human as we are, we do commit mistakes in relaying messages.
If it is true, then we must be happy for Aimee's friend. No need to raise a formal complaints. We have to deal with our own bussiness though it sounds unfair.
Since my PD is August 2005. I tried calling NVC, but to say, same message I got. Spoke with the Operator, She told me that my name is already in the list of doc qualified applicants, awaiting for visa number, little message given as well "quite sure you will be next in line for the holidays".
Godbless.
@ tcell: Can I know what is your country of birth, and your PD if its ok? Thanks. I guess we must also know th profile/status of Mr. Lefora. Hehehe

I guess you are right about aimee's friend maybe having a Dec. 2004 PD instead, That's a very valid explanation, esp. after hearing from you that your case (Aug. 2005) is still awaiting for the visa numbers.
Very interesting, though about the little message you received. I guess, that's another good sign that we may expect another modest forward movement in the Dec. VB.

As for my profile, I think I made it clear from the start that I am just like one of you guys patiently waiting for their turn.
My PD is Oct., 2006 (EB3 Philippines) and on the list of being documentarily qualifed as well. Hoping that the current fiscal year may reach those with a latter 2006 PD and not being asked by NVC for another update of the Ds-230 form. I must have updated my DS-230 form at least twice.

My agency asked NVC in September if i would need new DS230's etc when i became current and NVC said i probably would so i sent them to my agency for them to hand to NVC as soon as i am current which hopefully will be next month.I spoke to my agency Today and they said they would be very surprised if i was'nt current on the next buletin.

Hi Topscot. I agree with your lawyer. It may seem to be impossible if you are not yet included for the December Visa Bulletin. A PD of June 2005 is quite very near to BEING CURRENT.
When was the last time you updated your docs at the NVC? when was the last time you were declared as Documentarily qualified? I believe if its not yet six months old your file being stucked in NVC, no need to update, just bring Updated docs during the consular interview.
But just to keep safe. Just follw what your lawyer says.
I am happy for you. Godbless and pray even harder. Include us please.

Hi I am Anne,

Hi I am Anne,

Hi, Anne. Welcome.
Do you know what USCIS Service Center is your I-140 on ? Because that dictates how long the processing takes.
Texas Service Center (TSC) is currently processing I-140s within the 6-7 months range. Nebraska Service Center (NSC) takes notoriously long and a bit erratic but the range from NSC ranges anywhere from 8 mos. to up to 15 months. Also, a caveat is that the processing dates for I-140s that USCIS publishes isn't at all accurate.
Also, thank you for reminding me to make a thread specifically to track pending I-140s under the diff. service centers.
*FYI: A pending I-140, eventhough has a PD given upon receipt is technically still not under retrogression and the PD unrealize so long it has not been approved. The time that an I-140 is finally approved is the only time that that PD is realized, same way with being in retrogression. Also, for schedule A occupations (RNs and PTs) the receipt date is the same as the PD, since schedule A occupations do not need to undergo PERM such as IT workers who are in H1B and wanting to file for I-140. For non-schedule A occupations, the time the PERM is approved is the PD. More of this later, if it is warranted.

Hi, everyone. To keep things a bit organize, I think it would be best that we reseve this thread specifically for those that already have at least an approved I-140.
Just made two separate threads to specifically monitor pending I-140s under Nebraska Service center (NSC) and Texas Service Center (TSC).
Thank you for understanding.

Just making a few clarifications.
The person who posted in HLG who got a "friend" with a Dec. 2005 PD who got interviewed already made another post retracting her previous post and saying that the PD was instead Dec. 2004 and not Dec. 2005.
I also do not find anything wrong with the person who has a March 2005 PD but already got an appointment in Nov. since the cut-off dates for EB3 ROW and PH reflects that his PD will be current on that month anyway. Being scheduled 1-2 months before is not uncommon.
The 2nd statement also collaborate that the Dec. 2005 PD posting was indeed a mistake and that it was really Dec. 2004.
Those who have PDs in-between such as say, Aug. 2005 or so who still do not have their packet 4s will further prove that the Dec. 2005 posting may indeed be a mistake, esp.since the original poster did retract it.
However, if it were really true (Dec. 2005 PD) then we really can't do anything about it either since it was allegedly been done already.
Also, it doesn't take away anything to the fact that there are really people with much later PDs from the cut-off dates that are receiving their packets 4.
We just need to focus on our very own cases first rather than other people cases.
Good luck to all with 2005 PDs. The trend seems to be that they are trying to finish all those with 2005 PDs.

Great post and I hope everything is well clarified by now.
Minding our own PDs is yet far off better than minding others. But hey, please dont forget to share some great developments, specially good news such as getting the packet 4.
I agree with t-cell. Seems the trend now is to have applicants with PDs of 2005 have their much awaited gift----> THE GREEN CARD.
As compared to the past, I can say its a lil faster now to obtain the Packet 4. Before, applicants with a current PD must still wait for 2-3 motnhs for them to have their interview schedule. But What it may seem now, Applicants whose PDs are yet to be current for the coming month, is already getting their packet 4 in advance. This only implies that NVC is working doubly hard to get things done on time.
Hurray, this is indeed a good news. Godbless everybody.

hi I'm a nurse from Philippines I would like to gather some estimates when I can I get my Visa. Your response will be highly appreciated.
PD- June 29, 2007
I140 approved- July 12, 2007 under premium processing
Case Status- no idea since it's my agency's policy not to inform us with our case number so no chance of knowing my status by myself.
Thank you!
