Here are the projected interview dates based on the January bulletin just released. (Attached PDF file)
Africa and Asia processing is projected to speed up. South America is projected to run slower.
Differences in these projections compared to previous bulletins:
Note:
- RED - Actual cut-offs from the DOS
- ORANGE - Projection of interview dates (Estimated only. The actual cut-offs can and probably will be different.)
Africa and Asia processing is projected to speed up. South America is projected to run slower.
Differences in these projections compared to previous bulletins:
- I am weighting "Average DV 2004-2008" towards the most recent years. i.e. 2008 has a greater weight than 2004.
- I am factoring in seasonal variation in processing rates based on the pattern from previous years
Note:
- Africa's future processing rate is difficult to predict. The projected numbers change significantly depending on the projection method, unlike the other regions.
- The projected cut-offs towards the end of the year (August, September)are probably highly inaccurate. Most regions go current anyway.
