What the State Department says

Official notes published with the bulletin, quoted as written. They describe what the State Department expects, not a guarantee.

Establishment of employment third preference “other workers” (ew) final action date

High number use in the Employment Third Preference “Other Workers” (EW) category has necessitated the establishment of a worldwide final action date in June to hold number use within the maximum allowed under the FY-2022 annual limit. All countries are subject to a final action date of 08MAY19 except for China-mainland born, which is subject to a 01JUN12 final action date and India, which is subject to a 15JAN12 final action date.

Family-sponsored second preference visa availability

Item D in the July 2019 Visa Bulletin advised that the F2A category was made current to increase the level of demand and encourage applicants to actively pursue final action on their cases. The item also advised that once large numbers of F2A applicants did begin to have their cases brought to final action, it would be necessary to establish a date to keep number use within the annual limit.

Number use in the F2A category has remained steady throughout FY-2022 and it may be necessary to establish an F2A final action date as early as August. This situation is being continually monitored and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
