The October 2013 visa bulletin was released yesterday. Here’s the pertinent information most of my readers are looking for:
For ALL countries including India and China: F2A preference retrogressed 1 day only to Sept. 8, 2013. That is better than what my expectations were!
For all countries except India, China, Philippines, and Mexico: F2B preference advanced 15 days days with PD at 1 March 2006; F4 category advances 18 days to PD at 8 August 2001; EB2 is current and, and EB3 has no movement with PD remaining at 1 July 2010 (you may recall there was a huge jump of 547 days last month).
For India only: F2B preference advanced 15 days days with PD at 1 March 2006; F4 category advances 18 days to PD at 8 August 2001; EB2 has no movement (remember the 167 jump last month?) leaving PD at 15 June 2008 and EB3 has no movement either (remember big jump of 244 days last month?) leaving PD at 22 Sept 2003.
Reminder that October is the beginning of the fiscal year. We will write about the November 2013 Visa Bulletin when it is released in due course.
Is there a possiblity for further retrogession in the November or in the upcoming months of Visa bulletin?
Hi Yann, thank you for the question. Depends on the category I’m afraid. Hard to know how much retrogression there will be, if any.
It’s really surprising that it only retrogessed a day. Is it possible that after retrogession, it retrogesses again? I’m afraid I will be affected if that happens. I’m in an F2a category with PD May14,2012. Thanks for your answer.
My guess is that F2A will further retrogress but that is purely a guess and not based on any inside knowledge.
