The Department of State’s Visa Bulletin for April reports, among other things, that immigrant visa issuance rates for people from certain countries have decreased. Consequently, to make visas available to prospective immigrants from other countries, the dates for filing and final action dates have been advanced across various immigrant visa categories.
The bulletin notes that as additional immigrant visa demand materializes, or administration actions are amended, retrogression may be necessary later in the fiscal year to keep issuances within annual limits.
