Is F3 2013 current? Update the latest Visa Bulletin

Is F3 2013 current? Guide to following Visa Bulletin and preparing documents properly

Many families applying for F3 are very interested in whether the application with the 2013 priority date has been interviewed or not. This is one of the areas with long waiting times, so understanding the Visa Bulletin correctly is very important.

Is F3 2013 current?

To know if the profile is current or not, you need to compare:

• Priority Date of the application
• Final Action Date in the latest Visa Bulletin

For example:

• Application priority date: March 15, 2013
• Final Action Date F3: March 15, 2013

=> The profile is now available and NVC can continue processing to prepare for the interview.

If the Final Action Date is still earlier than your priority date, the application is still waiting for the Visa Bulletin to proceed further.

Common mistake

Many people see that the Visa Bulletin is dated 2013 and think that their records are definitely current. In fact, you must compare the exact day/month/year, not just compare each year.

If the profile is current

You should:

• Check NVC status
• Confirm you have a Case Number
• Complete DS-260 if not submitted yet
• Prepare original documents
• Follow up interview schedule

If the profile is not current

This is the time to:

• Check Visa Bulletin every month
• Check valid documents
• Calculate CSPA age for accompanying children
• Update contact information with NVC
• Prepare finances for the interview stage

If your profile is current, focus on completing your NVC profile and preparing for the interview stage. If it is not current, please continue to monitor Visa Bulletin regularly so that you are not passive when your application arrives.
