Retrogression of June Cut-Off Dates:

Employment-Based:

Third, and Third Other Workers: The unexpected and dramatic increase in demand being received from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service Offices during the past several months has resulted in number use approaching the annual limit for this category. As a result, it has been necessary to retrogress the Worldwide, China, and Mexico cut-off dates for the month of June.
China: EB-2=05/22/2009, EB-3=10/01/2006
India: EB-2=11/15/2004, EB-3=10/15/2003
WW: EB-3=04/11/2011

Family-Based:
*WORLDWIDE F-2A: The cut-off date for the Family F-2A category was advanced at a very rapid pace during fiscal year 2013 in an effort to generate demand to use all numbers available under the annual limit. Those movements have resulted in a dramatic increase in the level of applicant demand being received during the past seven months. This has required the retrogression of the Family F-2A cut-off date for June in an effort to hold number use within the annual numerical limit. Further retrogression cannot be ruled out should demand by applicants with very early priority dates continue to increase.

*MEXICO F-2A: Despite a previous retrogression, the level of demand has remained excessive, resulting in a further retrogression of this cut-off date to hold number use within the annual limit.
