BMB Case number

[kmistry1]

how BMB case number is assigned. I have files for my sister in July 1999.

I notice that current priority date for F4 category is OCT,1 ,1994. but when you look athe web site in mumbai where they have list of all the apppointments for July 2006 interviews they show BMB Case number and most of them says something like BMB1995XXXXXX. is that mean they are processing files for 1995 ?

Thanks for your help in advance for answering the question.

It seems that the 4 digits following 3 letter consulate designation stands for year. However I am not sure whether it is the year for the priority date or the year when the case # was generated at NVC.

Here is some additional info on NVC case # from immiinfo.com website.
The NVC then assigns a case number which consists of the three letter consular post designator, the Julian date (+500) and the number of petitions designated for that particular post that day.

Based on the above it seems that
for example, BMB 1995 656 099 - would stand for a case assigned to Mumbai consulate, on 156th (656-500) day of the year and it was 99th case on that day assigned to Mumbai. Again, I am not sure about 1995.
