What is visa unavailibility? (I understand visa retrogression).
does it mean we cannot apply for 485?
If already applied for 485, will it be processed.


07/16/2005: Refuted Rumor of EB-1, EB-2, & EB-3 Visa Number Unavailability in August Visa Bulletin

* The August 2005 Visa Bulletin has yet to be released but there was a wild rumor that even EB-1 and EB-2 visa number would become unavailable effective August 1, 2005. AILA was however informed by the State Department that "it ain't true." It is a matter of a day or two that the immigrant community will get the August Visa Bulletin, but this rumor has thrown a fuel on the dry grass and spread like a wild forest fire for the last few days. Calm down!
 
From what I understand, you cannot apply for 485 if visa numbers are unavailable.

If dates have retrogressed, they process 485s based on priority date. Otherwise, they process it based on receipt date.
