Topic: F2A awaiting for Notice of approval (NOA2), what will happen if PD will become current?

Hi Good day. First let me commend this site for being so informative. Thank you very much to whoever behind this. I am getting so excited with the news that F2A category will soon be current. But at the same time I am a bit confuse of what will really gonna happen. Here is my case scenario. My better half who is a GC holder filed for an F2A petition just last April 2013. We already received the Notice of Action (NOA1)with a PD of April 2013. The petition is under Vermont Service Center. According to USCIS website, processing times for this kind of petition under Vermont Service Center will take approximately 11-12 months processing. My questions are: 1.) What is the impact of a CURRENT F2A status to a newly filed case? 2.) Will the Vermont Service Center speed up their processing of petition filings once F2A becomes current, or we still have to wait for the 11-12 months processing timeline despite of status F2A being current? 3.) What are the chances of me being able to get the GC sooner? Thank you so much and looking forward for answers.
