Current...

I think things will slow down in the next few months, and in September, everyone will become current.
Yes, some regions become current in July...the question is...will visas be available?

Next Thursday or Friday we get to know the predictions for April...!
 
So close!

More like next Wednesday :)

I can't wait.

EU April is somewhere between 29.000 - 30.000 :)

You definitely go current in April... whether they move up with 3,000 or with 5,000! Hope you are [almost] ready!

As for me, even if Africa goes with 10,000 - I dont think it will be April for me. Unless of course they move AF with like 15,000 (which has never happened). Am settled for May, I think!

Congratulations sam1982!
 
Or may be not...

yes what a drag... looking like June/July for us. May hopes are dashed i guess....

I looked at previous VB's and April to may was the biggest jump for Africa ... last year moved with 7500, previous year 6500, and year before previous was 5500...so if this keeps up...things might just go well.

10 more days and we will figure out.
