I wonder if the 2.6 months (for F2A) is a typo and should be 2-6 months. It seems strange to have so specific a date instead of a range like the other categories. Also, wouldn't 2.5 months be the normal way to put it (as .6 of a month doesn't make sense.)

I'm pretty confident that it should be 2-6 months... but I guess we'll see soon.

But the point is that can we trust Mr Oppenheim? He predicted in 2010 that F2A would be current by Feb 2011 but instead of being current, it retrogressed..

I'm not trying to discourage everyone here..I'm very optimistic since none of other categories have got any interviews so we should be getting from the next week as NVC has said...

I wish that your underline comes true. Unfortubately, I cannot trust Oppenheim's word since he was wrong on previouse retrogression mode. I might be wrong this time. But badly need my wife's interview date.

The simple matter of fact is that he too cannot predict the movement until the last day or so since so many agencies are involved!

May be he should start being an active member of VJ and start predicting his own predictions!!! :-)

I read somewhere on imminfo.com that there is a real mathematical formula to come up with the PD's. There was even a federal case to get the formula and they were not successfull! So I think this guy can only make educated predictions based on his experiences of 20 plus years!!!
