No. Filing starts adjudication, which has no fixed decision date, and a visa must then be available for the applicant's category and chargeability before anyone can be issued a visa or adjust status. Resignations, school enrolments and property commitments should wait for the milestone that actually authorises the move.
Set checkpoints instead of a moving date
Agree review points: petition filed, receipt issued, decision received, Visa Bulletin checked quarterly, visa or adjustment application lodged, and residence granted. Decide in advance what each checkpoint unlocks in practical terms. If an employer or school needs an answer sooner, tell them the case is pending rather than offering a date.
Revisit the plan whenever the Bulletin retrogresses or personal circumstances change materially. Keep a dated record of each check. Agree the review points and what each one unlocks in practical terms: petition filed, receipt issued, decision received, the category checked quarterly, visa or adjustment application lodged, residence granted.
