As per wikipedia Nov1 is All Saints day and Nov2 is All souls Day
The former is holiday on websites of Belgium,Phillipines,Ghana to name a few and I saw the later is for Brazil. Those are regarded as local holidays in the respective countries.
Nope - we are at 140K EB Visas this year.

I-485 Inventory got posted in murthy website...
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_485o11.html
I think its curtains for today. No demand data put up, I highly doubt he will directly publish the VB, especially since he is doing it early, then he would like to show some thought went behind it.
Also the 4th sounds very early, almost a hack job, I did random clicks on previous years bulletins, and really none were this early.
Guys there is a comment on the US non immigrants blogspot and someone posted a comment about VB release date . Quote " I just got off the phone. Demand data will be released on Monday and bulletin on Wednesday. Enjoy your weekend. " . Not sure how viable this person is , but wanted to share this to y all anyway.
This weekend surely will give me sleepless nights of anticipation with out bounds for what may come next . Good luck to all of us who are expecting to be current .
Nishant thanks; I did not know that QSP can be applied anytime in that case it is actually happening. This will bring early relief to all. So definitely it’s QSP or its variant or avatar but it’s something good happening for sure. The real test will be when we start to see PWMB approvals for those who filed last month.

Why does Murthy posts these kinds reliable information very late. At this minute every one is waiting for Demand data and VB, No one is waiting for this information at all. But Murthy posts this late news to drag attention.
Nishant,
Murthy just posted I-485 inventory data for October 2011. Any guesses what will be the cut off date based on that.
friend, murthy is late, people on this forum already pounced it on long time back.
I will tell you what murthy article doesnt say. The inventory shows big year over year increase in backlog for EB1 and EB2ROW, pointing to decrease in SOFAD by at least 8k for this year. But that assumes:
1. 140 approval rate is what we think it is, if it is lower, the backlog reduction will reduce the 485 but in terms of denials, not approvals
2. this year's incoming demand for EB1, EB2ROW will remain the same. It may get lower, which in case may balance the backlog reduction
3. USCIS will indeed to backlog reduction effort. they may or may not. if CO does QSP, then only in the quarter or next few they do this effort, we would be impacted, not throughout year. So I hope he does QSP.
As far as cut off dates, I have always mentioned, CO should look at past trend and grab minimum that plus buffer, and disregard the backlog kind of factors for now. He like us does not know future, and has to be safe side.

I am not a lawyer, and it's always best to consult an immigration attorney.
"More and More EB2 Approvals from India and China
It should be noted that, in October and November 2011, the cutoff dates for EB2 India and China have continued to advance to November 1, 2007. This has resulted in many EB2 approvals from India and China with 2007 priority dates in October 2011, and is expected to continue in November 2011. The EB2 India and China inventory for cases with priority dates prior to August 2007 is therefore expected to continue to decline. "
Does not mention where the visas are coming from.

Kanmani this means that CO is allocating numbers to the batch for the Nov VB it’s a very positive sign that numbers are being allocated freely. We know that most of the preadjudicated cases before Jul 15th are approved already. I believe that if the approvals keep coming like this it is some kind of spillover or excess allocation as they have crossed 6K (I+ C Allocation). Note China’s Jul 2007 inventory is higher than India and EB2 I +C inventory excluding PWMB’s for Jul 2007 is more than 3K.
I wonder with whom did he speak on phone..
Teddy
So still my theory of left over visas from 2011 is ruled out right?
guess he is just creating a buzz for some traffic to his website. I have seen bulletins released at even 2:10 PM PST
yes..makes sense
I believe 6k has been used up for sure, its upto CO to account for them as either as 6K totally as annual allocation or 30% of 6K + Spillover as per some rules in the first 3 quarters only 30% can be used. Either way it’s very good news for all of us. We now need to see PWMB approvals to strengthen this theory.
Hope he did not speak with CO. For now probability of VB today has gone down, that's what I can say.
So this should reduce average wait time for EB2IC by around 6 months?
If its thats easy to reach CO and everyone would have called and asked him about VB
Now GC processing is transparent than before, why CO can't tell up front when the VB will be out instead just placing "Coming Soon"
EB2-I, PD April 08, 08
I totally agree with you...instead of "coming soon" banner they can as well put a date
