    HI, My priority date is on 06 2011 and i cancelled my trip and lost 900 Dollars plus 200 for non refundable visa fee and 400 for medical tests and 1500 for lawyer fees. And spent about two weeks to gather all required documents and filling documentation making sure everything is appropriate. All the money, hardwork and time is of no use now after sep 25th revised bulletin. All that left now is disappointment. I kindly request to revert back the sep 25th revised bulletin and accept as originally published bulletin on sep 9th..

    USCIS along with DOS released a visa bulletin in accordance to visa modernization per Executive action. While doing this around September 8th the visa bulletin released had a priority date of USCIS accepting AOS application with people having priority dates for EB2 India with people before June 30th 2011 EB2 Chinese with people before May 01st 2014. Suddenly , the USCIS along with DOS have changed these dates to July 1st 2009 and Jan 1st 2013. This action is so irresponsible on the part of USCIS\DOS and have made many immigrants who paid and did medicals and other process to submit their application go into mental stress. I urge the president to step in and revert back the decision of changing dates and to honor those dates originally published atleast until end of Oct 2015.

    Respected sir/madam- we have been waiting for the "I-485 - Adjustment Of Status" from the past 7 years and we felt happy after looking at Sep 9th visa bulletin. Infact, Me & my husband took leave (loss of pay) to attend Doctor's appointment (mandatory civil surgeon's doctor's appointment) and paid around $1100 to get required vaccinations for us and for our 8 years old son and paid attorney fee's for filing I-485 (Adjustment of status).However, because of the 'revised' visa bulletin released on SEP28,2015, all our hard work, money and our efforts are going in vain. We really put in lot of hard work to make sure the documentation is appropriate and spent 10+ days and were totally disappointed when we saw 'revised' visa bulletin that was released on Sep 25,2015 (3 working days before submitting our filled in applications). This is totally unfair and it really is causing us mental, physical and emotional stress. Kindly urge you to take action and revert back the decision of changing dates and to honor those dates originally published at least until end of Oct 2015. Thank you!!

    We spent lot of money and time to get all prepared based on the Sep bulletin release and this latest release has wasted all of that. We request the president to understand our pain and take corrective action for helping out those who are impacted. Hopes are high...

    I have been waiting for 8 years, it became true on Sep 09, 2015. I spent money, time, took off to get my medicals done. This took a U-turn on Sep 25, 2015. This is very hard to digest emotionally and mentally.

    As an immigration attorney, I can say that this abrupt announcement is a travesty of justice and due process. My clients have spent thousands of dollars in preparation for the filing on Oct. 1, only to have it snatched away from them. Be prepared for a class action lawsuit.
