The U.S. State Department's monthly bulletin for green card applicants was just released, and there have been few changes since the January. The F-2B visa category (adult children of U.S. citizens) for Mexican foreign nationals was the only group that saw retrogression: due to high demand, the priority date was pushed back eleven months. Even though the F-2A category has not advanced since last October, the F-2A priority date of September 2013 is still significantly better than normal. Spouses and minor children of green card holders should not be discouraged from applying for their green card just because the priority date hasn't moved forward

For the work-based visa categories, India's EB-2 and EB-3 dates did not move forward. While the rest of the world saw limited movement in the EB-3 category.
