According to Anonymous the famous Visa Bulletin analysis guru - his blog is at blog.mygcvisa.com - he says retrogression will prob be back till between Sept 2012 and Oct 2012 - if he is accurate - then I am very much relieved - I personally think it could go back to even Oct or June 2011

They could have just frozen the PD at OCT 8, 2011 instead of putting CURRENT. Now, tourist visa holders using it to adjust status is just annoying, jumping ahead of those who are helplessly waiting.

It will be in the 2012 area, it can't be 2011, we are nearing 2014, holding back visas for 3 years would be chaos.

Well last time it was in Fall of 2011 when they did it and sent it all the way back to 2007 :( - the Anonymous guru said according to info we have until now existing demand data and reports, his prediction is Oct or Nov 2012, but that prediction can change if there is any new info that comes out before the next VB. So I guess we all have to hold our breaths on this one. 29 days left till the next bulletin comes out!

Another thing to consider is that there wasn't much movement (a lot of i-130 weren't being processed) in our category during a lot of time. So they have to make up for all the time lost. There are people in this forum with PD in late 2011 who still haven't received their NOA2. So that could also mean that since all of that paperwork has accumulated, they might set the cut off date to late 2011 or before; and it could also mean that the rate at which the cut off date moves in the following months might be slow due to all the paperwork they've accumulated. Hopefully that is not the case.....a cut off date of Oct-Nov 2012 would be great!

Retro is inevitable. There's no stopping it.

Actually, I was expecting late 2011 to March 2012.

Okay so as long as NVC gets the application before October , beneficiaries with approved petitions should be okay right ?

I understand that all applications that go to NVC ( which is just a triage office) are set an interview and get a visa ( as long as anything is wrong with the application )!

It is my understanding that NVC only schedules interviews if/when a visa number is available. So if our case has moved to the NVC, we might be able to complete it, but if by that time, a visa number is no longer available for our PD, then the interview wont be scheduled. But I could be wrong.
