2012 Visa bulletin predictions

Numbers in October's bulletin are exactly what I was expecting.

On the Visa Bulletin website it says November's bulletin is coming soon. Is that a mistake? I thought it won't be out until early October.
 
Well.. Visa bulletin came out earlier than I was expecting, which is good. EU numbers added 2400, which is slightly less than last year but overall is pretty average number. I think we are on the right track. I believe that numbers will keep adding between 1900 and 3000 every month just like they did during last three years. I sure hope that I am right and all EU numbers will become current in July or so. I expect my number (EU26***) to become current between May and June.
 
It's not a mistake but they have changed the format of the VB. In the past it only ever read "coming soon" for the first week or so of each month.

Well... It looks like DV visa number range is consistent with previous years, with the exception of AS region, where higher than usual case numbers are present. I wonder if this has anything to do with higher number of applicants this year which is almost 15MM vs. 12MM last year. As a matter of fact this DV lottery has seen the highest number of applicants since 2007. I am waiting to see October visa bulletin to compare it to last year.

I don't understand how it works...
Asia 8,000 for oct
Asia 10,000 for nov
Is that mean I will be current after 26 months!!!!!
 
hmmm EU 11,000, a little lower than I expected.. BUT i still don't think this number tells us much anything as they haven't started 2012 interviews yet. i sure hope their quota for EU isn't lower this year than last. it shouldn't be judging by ASIA number but AFRICA is higher than last which makes me think maybe they upped their Africa quota once again...
 
I am not surprised. This was an average increase consistent with last year(s) averages. Like I said in the past we need to wait for November or better yet December bulletin to see if numbers will progress according past three years scenario.
