Dear Snadranj My husband is PR and I have pending i-485 (based on vawa approval) at NBC for about 4 months I found that there is regression on visa bulletin on June 2014 Does this regression affect on my process if my priority date is after cut date and I have pending i485

Yes. Your I-485 cannot be approved until your priority date is current, and since F2A has (significantly) regressed then you cannot be approved until it moves forward past your date once more. You might get an interview before it happens, but you won't get approval.

nicesky and Cielo the member hypnos answered you correctly.You mentioned your priority date is after the cut- off date.Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number.

hi guys im still here reading an keeping abreast of all the approvals etc. So I feel a little down today my lawyer messed up my case and sent in another I485 application dated October 2013 I finally got an interview date but with the new DV Bulletin I may have to wait for a number/approval before receiving my green card I do have an old application in and hoping they will be able to use it I feel under the weather now.

[Sandra G. 5,047]

Cielo&others, I received so many messages, pm and emails today, then here is how it works the cut-off date.To qualify for an Immigrant number the date that the petition was filed(priority date) MUST FALL BEFORE than the cut -off date. As I said before if your priority date is AFTER the cut-off date then you will not have an immigrant visa number available now.

Here is what USCIS stated in their web site.

Visa Retrogression

Usually the cut-off dates on the Visa Bulletin move forward in time, but not always. Demand for visa numbers by applicants with a variety of priority dates can fluctuate from one month to another, with an inevitable impact on cut-off dates. Such fluctuations can cause cut-off date movement to slow, stop, or even retrogress. Visa retrogression occurs when more people apply for a visa in a particular category or country than there are visas available for that month. Retrogression typically occurs toward the end of the fiscal year as visa issuance approaches the annual category, or per-country limitations. Sometimes a priority date that meets the cut-off date one month will not meet the cut-off date the next month. When the new fiscal year begins on October 1, a new supply of visas is made available and usually, but not always, returns the dates to where they were before retrogression.

If, at the time of adjudication, an applicant’s priority date no longer meets the cut-off date published in the Visa Bulletin, due to retrogression, his or her case must be held in abeyance until a visa once again becomes available. If the adjudication of your Form I-485 will not require an in-person interview at a USCIS office, then your case will be held at the USCIS Service Center where you initially filed your application.

If you have been interviewed at a USCIS office and a visa is not available, then USCIS may hold your case at the following locations until a visa becomes available
