Not sure about this. But I as of my experience they will grant your visa usually same date as your target date or at least 2 days before.. Good luck with that.. Don't you think Oct is not a good month for your wife to go? Just worried about the weather better for her to go here while still Summer than freezing cold winter.. Just a thought..
