If we have to believe what Attorney Tracie Klink said in here, which I guess it right you should surely get your U visa in this October quota but if VSC continue with thier roll out policy of spreading it in 4 quarters, you should be having it in your hands not later than July 2018.
*************************
Right now, USCIS says they are working on cases that were filed on or before August 25, 2014. That’s right – nearly three years behind. Since April 2015, the processing chart for U visas has only moved forward three months.

USCIS informed us that there are currently only 7,000 people on the wait list. I suppose the good news is that if you have been placed on the wait list and granted deferred action status you should be able to convert to actual U status starting in October 2017 with the new fiscal year. The bad news is that it still leaves 161,000 pending U applications.

Thanks for your response Prince. Appreciate your insights. Did you get any update on your status?

[Prince]

Unfortunately nothing so far not even transfer to NSC. They ain't following first in first out policy.

I believe USCIS intend to stall DA for U applicants. We will have to wait untill actual visas become available. The way things are moving, I think its better. I am from May 22nd 2015.

What made you believe USCIS intending to stall DAs? Unlike u visa cap which is mandated by law, issuing DAs more than 10,000 is at the sole discretion of USCIS. Last time they issued 22000 DAs good for 2 years but then they haven't send out a single DA for next 18 months. This year they might have decided not to issue more than the cap, they have already got DAs good for 2018 cap.
No doubt VSC is delaying the process and not issuing more and more DAs easing out the piled up files for reasons better known to them despite adding another centre but they can NOT stall this program for reasons whatsoever.

USCIS is more than capable of adjudicating all U petition currently on hold in a matter of 12 months or less. Specially now with 2 offices; VSC NSC, they are not working on U cases because they don't want too.

Like you said, for almost 2 years they issued little DAs it has been almost 1 year since the started sharing with NSC and NO improvements.

They processed 750K DACA application in 12 months when it first come out. They can but won't work on U cases.

Congratulations!

Oct 09, 2014. Someone from October 15 and 29th have got DA. I know how to skip the line for cinema ticket but don't know how they give DAs ahead of others 😃

I am glad you are maintaining your humour in this stress. It's definitely strange.

I want to inspire everyone of us who were and are waiting for years should think of DACA once. They have been in this country from childhood, they know of no other country than America. What's happening with them is terrible. our pain and frustration is too small before theirs, so please pray and wish for all those 800,000 innocent young victims of fate should get justice from Congress soon.

Prince what about people from August september and even from July form vsc still waiting that's a big mistake skipping those applications itsbnot fair to transfer new cases rather than old cases 🤔🤔🤔

[Prince]

I am able to take it in my stride the injustice, what you call unfair, being meted out to us by VSC for just one simple reason that they can delay our cases for reasons better known to them but can not rescind our visas like DACA or DAPA. Period
As the saying goes "Better late than never"
Let's keep our hopes alive and hang on with our patience for few more weeks what we've been doing for years as they know we can do nothing about it except expressing our frustration on them. The nature of the visa is such that we have to be at their mercy willingly or unwillingly, whatever they do wether we like it or not, we have to wait if we have no other option.
