February 2, 2015 at 23:36
Hopefully in the next VB (April interviews) – and if not – in May.

Thank you very much sir
February 9, 2015 at 20:57
Okay my case number is AF71XXX
February 9, 2015 at 21:00
Ok – so your number is quite high. You are in a risky range, so all you can do is wait. IF you get current you would not interview until September, so you have to wait to see what the VB released in July says….
Good luck!

June/July interview…

Hi Brit. Excuse me, I still find it hard to read the VB. When the visa bulletin for a particular month is released, does it mean your case number is current? For example, the VB bulletin for February has been released and they are for March interviews. Does it mean those with case numbers ranging from 26000-27800 AF are current?

The link below explains. This post above is from a year ago.
