Family-sponsored second preference availability
In the April 2023 Visa Bulletin , it was necessary to establish a final action date in the F2A category. Number use has continued to remain steady, and it may become necessary to retrogress the final action date to keep number use within the FY-2023 annual limit.
Additionally, number use in the F2B category has been steady throughout the fiscal year, and it may become necessary to retrogress the final action dates for Rest of World countries, India, and China to keep number use within the FY-2023 annual limit. These situations will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
Visa availability in the employment-based third preference (EB-3) for India
Steady number use and high demand in the EB-3 category for India will most likely necessitate retrogression of the EB-3 final action date for India as early as next month to hold number use within the maximum allowed under the FY-2023 annual limit. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
Retrogression in the employment-based fifth preference (EB-5) for India
As readers were informed was possible in Item F of the May 2023 Visa Bulletin , it has become necessary to retrogress the EB-5 final action date for India effective in June. India’s number use in the family and employment preference categories for FY-2023 is subject to prorating under INA 202(e). Number use has been consistently robust throughout the fiscal year in the family and employment preference categories, and it has been determined that India is approaching its prorated limit for EB-5 numbers. Thus, applicants from India are subject to a final action date of 01APR17. This situation will be continually monitored, and any necessary adjustments will be made accordingly.
