The cut off dates are not based on a "day" but rather on a DATE.

Cut off dates always fall on the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd of the month in question where the visa bulletin is concerned.

So they didn't pick a Sunday per say. It's just that the cut off for Sep. was the 8th of that month which just happened to be a Sunday. :-) ~~~

Oh really? I didn't know that and i was perturbed about it. Do you have any idea if the next visa bulletin's cut off would remain the same, move forward or even retrogress? Somehow i think i sound like Oliver twist with so many people who filed several months ago waiting for adjudication and here I am whining about cut off dates...lol

I don't think there is an easy way to get that info unless you file for FOIA. I did file FOIA in 2010 for my EB based I485 for a different reason and USCIS sent me a CD of about 170 pages including sn

OK. my case is still with MSC ( i think). Not sure if its being trasferred.. where do you see that? i live in California, it will great if they transfer it to CSC.

now waiting for the letter of RFE.. lets see what they want.

Just curious, why you didnt file concurrently though, the timing was perfect for you. You would gotten atleast EAD by now .

Here is the latest info from an Attorney website. two more weeks for the next bulletin. I think the dates won't retrogress but not sure if it would move by a week. I understand your frustration with your PD. I hope it becomes current for you in the next Bulletin.

Thanks for pointer vkrishn.... unfortunately FB 2A (which majority of filers here are) is expected to remain at this date for forseeable future.... :(

Additionally, Mr. Oppenheim was able to provide some predictions and expectations for movement of visa numbers over the next few months for the family-based categories as well.

FB-1 ROW. This category is expected to advance by 3-5 weeks per month.

FB-2A. This category is expected to be held at its current level for the foreseeable future. Mexico is likely to retrogress.

FB-2B. This category is expected to advance by 3-5 weeks per month.

FB-3. This category is expected to advance by 3-5 weeks per month.

FB-4. This category is expected to advance by 2-3 weeks per month.

Thanks vkrishn and LPR_filer, now this has got me wondering what "foreseeable future" means in that context. I wonder why other categories will advance and f2a will remain at current level. Still hoping for the best nevertheless

Welcome new filers. Keep with you lots of patience, you will be needing a lot of that along the journey. Goodluck!

Hello... my husband is a LPR and i am the beneficiary.. i just wanna ask after the AOS appeared PAID, do we have to wait for an instruction regarding the AOS Package from NVC or we just have to send the package to them? or do we get to received an instruction letter from them on what to do next?.. for those who have already done in this stage, please advice... thank you and God bless everyone...

what happens with application whose PD are after Sep 8 2013? do immigration process their i-485 or they are waiting for their PD to become current?

Your I-130 might get processed/ approved and I485 will be processed to a certain stage (Preadjudicated) assuming your I485 is clean (ie: No RFE's and so forth). They will not approve I-485 until your PD becomes current.
