Yes.
Yes, as early as November 1, 2023.
There have been cases where it is current when interview scheduled, and then by the time there is an interview, it is not current. And so the visa is not issued until a visa number is available.
There is evidence that DoS distorts the final action chart so that despite being current, there is actually no
visa number available. This seems to be the case for the Philippines. I think you will get an interview before November 1, 2026.
As noted 2 times by me before, that is not supposed to happen, given you sought to acquire a visa when you were current and your CSPA age was under 21. If I were you, I would inform NVC today you will be current on October 1, 2023, and so again on October 1, 2023. And do this each time a visa bulletin comes out that shows you as current.
