Retrogress to what date? That is the real question.

Try not to get your hopes that high, a current VB can only last for so long,

always expect the worse. It might RETROGRESS in the coming months,...

Buena Suerte ,....

VISA AVAILABILITY

FAMILY-sponsored:

F2A: This category was made “Current” in an effort to generate new demand for the upcoming fiscal year. Information received during discussions with the National Visa Center and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicates that this action is already having the intended result. Therefore, it is likely that a cut-off will be imposed for October. This cut-off is unlikely to have any negative impact on those who have already initiated action on their case prior to the announcement of the October cut-off dates.

it says no negative impact so no retrogression, it will probably be around oct-dec 2011.

I think what it means is that if your petition is at NVC, then they will continue to process it and possibly complete your case, but if by the time they schedule your interview, your PD is no longer current, then you wont be scheduled an interview until your PD becomes current again. Or maybe you complete your case and an interview is scheduled for some date in Oct...if there is retrogression in Oct, and your PD is no longer current, even if you go to the interview and get approved, you still wouldn't get the visa because you would have to wait until a visa number is available for you, which means waiting for your PD to become current again. Hopefully that wont be the case, and we can all get our cases completed, get our interviews scheduled and finally our visas...but it seems to me that is wishful thinking. We will all have to wait a month, when the bulletin prediction for Oct is released.

I don't see why would they schedule an interview if visa is not available. I think the issue with visa is not available after interview might happen only if person goes through AP or reschedules interview him/herself.

It depends on how NVC operates. If they already know what the cut off date will be, then they have sufficient knowledge to determine which petitions will have their PD still current after the cut off date is established and can therefore schedule an interview for them and not schedule an interview for those petitions with a PD after the cut off date.

If they dont know what the cut off date will be, then they should continue with business as usual and continue processing all petitions and forms they receive and continue completing cases and scheduling interviews regardless of whether a visa number will be avialable by the time the interview takes place.

By the way...what does AP stand for? What does IL stand for?

AP=Administrative Process, IL=Interview letter.

In my opinion, there says that the next newsletter will have a little drastic impact for those who already have an action in NVC, so if my case is next to close may be that I become part of the interview list. I'm waiting for a miracle, God knows what will be perfect, only God can help us.
