You don't have to do a thing if the dates are right or wrong. Everyone here is mostly clueless about the dates and we are just playing around with different dates out of boredom.

I know it is hard, but who knows, our good Lord could make dates advance 1 year for the good EB3 World and India ?

Although I would love to be optimistic about the July bulletin, my optimism has always led to huge disappointment. I am trying to be as realistic as I can so that the disappointment is not intense and long lasting. I will be happy with an advancement beyond April 01 for EB3 India and an advancement of about 2-3 months for EB3 ROW. This I feel is a realistic expectation. If it turns out better then it will be a pleasant surprise.
Come to think of it, it has been ages since any of us had any "pleasant" surprises in this ridiculous immigration process. The law of averages predicts that some good news will eventually come and surprise us. Lets hope it happens sooner than later ...

saras76 said:AGC4ME,
You are right but my hope is that it will progress till the Sept bulletin and then maybe retrogress. Anything is possible. They are capable of retrogressing everything next month. In the same token, they are capable of making most things current next month. Bottom line is that they can do whatever they want without reason or proper explaination. The only way people are going to get approved this year is thru sheer luck.

It can definitely retrogress again. No denying that. However, for the last few months, they seem to be very conservative in moving it foward, moving an inch forward everytime. This gives me hope that it'll not retrogress any further than it has.
That's said, I agree that it's unpredictable and further retrogression remains well within the realm of possibility.
