Visa Availability Date Question

[AmericanCitizen85 8]

So I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. 

 

How do you know what the visa availability date is?

 

For example, my mother in law filed F4 visa to bring her brothers and their children to US.

 

Oldest Child date of birth 1/17/1992

Priority date of F4 visa is 8/12/2005

Approval date is 9/15/2011

Petition time duration 6 years 1 month 4 days

 

Basically this derivative child should hope for visa priority date to be current by 2/18/2019. If not child would be over 21 by CSPA standards. 

 

My question is since visa bulletin releases priority date 1 month in advance, which month and year should the derivative in the above situation hope to get visa priority date current by?

 

For above detail I provided would my wife's cousin hope to get visa priority date current around February 10 2019 for March's visa bulletin; or hope for visa priority date current around January 10 2019 for February's visa bulletin?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

So if I understood you correctly hope for priorty date to be current in the February 2019 visa bulletin that is going to be released in January 2019?

 

For the visa availability date for cspa calculations would the date the bulletin gets released in January 2019 (for example January 12) be the date we would calculate age from if priority date becomes current in that bulletin?

 

Thank you for your help!!

VB become effective on first of month.  do not matter when release

 

date that feb 2019 VB release in Jan do not matter.  feb 2019 become effecitive 2/1/2019.  use that date.   so for Feb 2019 VB and pd come current that month, use 2/1/2019 for when visa become available.  for March 2019 VB, use 3/1/2019
