Visa Bulletin For July 2013 D. VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE COMING MONTHS (August - October) FAMILY-sponsored categories (potential monthly movement) Worldwide dates: F1: Up to five weeks F2A: Could become “Current” at some point during the coming months. F2B: Four to seven weeks F3: Three to five weeks F4: Three to five weeks The above projections for the Family and Employment categories are for what is likely to happen during each of the next few months based on current applicant demand patterns. Readers should never assume that recent trends in cut-off date movements are guaranteed for the future, or that “corrective” action will not be required at some point in an effort to maintain number use within the applicable annual limits. The determination of the actual monthly cut-off dates is subject to fluctuations in applicant demand and a number of other variables. Unless indicated, those categories with a “Current” projection will remain so for the foreseeable future. Reference: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5993.html
