dates
I guess one must not read too much into these dates... For e-g, for EB1B, their processing date is still stuck in Aug. 01 whereas my case with a receipt notice of Oct. 1st week got approved 10 days back... I know two more cases also got approved. Perhaps NSC is trying to keep people (once their receipt date has passed) off the phone... So called "buffer" zone... may be? Or may be they still have some cases from Aug. 01 receipt date that have not been processed yet??? All guesses...
