Mette ... ya this is some thing which is strange... how they came up with that date I dont know but my guess is is that the category may have to do some thing with it. Mine EB3 and then the labour was filed when 245(i) thing was new... though i do not fall under 245i but as my labour was filed in those dates so may be its beacuse of that ... on the other hand there have been approvals after and before my date.. its hard to say what INS DOES as far as the dates are concerned. I am hoping to get some thing in augest if i believe what my letter says.
