"Sometimes, a priority date that is current one month will not be current the next month. This is called visa retrogression, which occurs when more people apply for a visa in a particular category than there are visas available for that month. Visa retrogression most often occurs when the annual limit has been reached. When the new fiscal year begins on October 1, a new supply of visa numbers is available and usually, but not always, brings back the dates to where they were before retrogression."

Hi,
I received invoice via e mail for paying fees of US$ 404/- each.
tried to pay online, but payment is rejected.(out of USA )
Interview scheduled Dec 2010. Priorty date current as per Dec 2010 visa bulletin. But as per Jan 2011 visa bulletin retrogression. Would visa issuance be delayed and interview cancelled owing to retrogression?
Good Question Visjig. I would think it is only fair for them to issue the visa since the interview has already been schedule and the PD is/was current according to Dec 2010 VB. Retrogression is of Jan 2011 VB.. not right now. Until we get to Jan 2011..continue to issue visa based on the given scenario. Just my opinion.

Thanks for your reply. It was mine own case.
BTW - visa was issued, no issues. You should have no problems as well.

Thanks for the reply pike. You are absolutely right.
Hi visjig. You think that people who have started with their processing will not be affected by the retrogression ?
Were you also in the same boat before ?
Well I feel that if your interview is in say for e.g. Jan 2011 and the VB for Jan 2011 says that your priority date is not current (retrogressed) then that person will be affected by retrogression in the sense that officer will say that to come back when the PD is current.
