Retrogression of June Cut-Off Date
June 2014 Visa Bulletin has been released. The new cut-off date has been announced in the bulletin. For F2A family
based sponsored visas, the cut-off date was retrogressed to May 01, 2012.
The cut-off date for F2A category was advanced
at a very rapid pace during the fiscal year 2013 in order to generate demand to use
all numbers available under that annual limit.
However, it has resulted in a dramatic increase in the level of
applicant demand in the past seven months.
This has caused the retrogression of the F2A cut-off date to hold number
use within the annual limit. If the applicant
demand with early priority dates continues to increase, further retrogression
may be expected.
Similarly the priority date for EB3 employment based visas
was retrogressed to April 1, 2011. There
was also an unexpected and dramatic increase in applicant demand received in the
past several months, which resulted in the necessary retrogression of the
cut-off dates for the month of June.
