Visa Bulletin For June 2012 - Visa Retrogression for F2B


The Department of State had recently released the Visa Bulletin for June 2012. Unfortunately, for many F2B applicants from Mexico waiting for their priority dates to be current, the wait will be longer. Visa retrogression is to take place in June 2012 for the F2B category. From 01 Dec 1992 it went back to 01 Jan 1992.
