The majority of US workplace retirement contribution deadlines (401(k), Roth IRA) operate on the calendar year — looking back 11 months helps verify contribution pacing for the year. Most US visa renewal processes for H-1B, L-1, and other work visas should have begun 11-12 months before expiration, so 11 months back would correspond to the renewal-initiation milestone.
