In the April 2023 Visa Bulletin , the EB-2 final action dates for Rest of World, Mexico, and the Philippines retrogressed to keep number use within the FY 2023 annual limit.

The Department and USCIS continue to see increased demand from these applicants, necessitating further retrogression. As a result, the Rest of World, Mexico, and Philippines EB-2 final action dates have retrogressed to 15FEB22. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.

Despite recent retrogressions, there continues to be high demand for EB-2 and EB-5 visa numbers by applicants with priority dates earlier than the established final action dates. As a result, it will be necessary to retrogress the India Employment Second Preference and Employment Fifth Preference final action dates as early as next month to keep visa issuances within their annual per-country limit. Every effort will be made in October to return the final action dates to at least the final action dates announced for April.

This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
