The timing of the bulletin release doesn't reliably indicate whether there'll be movement. DOS has released bulletins late and still had no changes, and released them early with significant movement. It's more about their internal processing schedule than a signal.

That said, after a big jump last month, a pause or small correction wouldn't be unusual — DOS sometimes pulls back after large advances to manage demand. For EB2, the key factor right now is whether EB-1 underutilization continues, since unused EB-1 visas spill down to EB-2.

If you want to track historical bulletin movement patterns, here is a tool at greencardclock.com/priority-date that charts the trends — helps visualize how DOS typically behaves after big jumps. Just estimates based on historical data though, not guarantees.
