RETROGRESSION OF FAMILY PREFERENCE CUT-OFF DATES: Continued heavy applicant demand for numbers in the Family F-2A preference category has required the retrogression of the Worldwide, China-mainland born, Dominican Republic, India, and Philippines cut-off dates for the month of March. Should the current and recent retrogressions have the intended impact to slow demand for numbers, it is anticipated that these cut-off could begin to move forward slowly in the coming months.
Further retrogressions cannot be ruled out should demand continue at the current levels for some categories and countries.
