E. VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS
Family-sponsored: It is likely that the Mexico Family First preference cut-off date will retrogress for the month of May.
Employment-based: It is likely that the Employment Third Preference “Other Worker” (EW) category will become unavailable beginning in May.
Both of these issues are the direct result of low annual limits and very heavy demand for numbers, primarily for adjustment of status cases at Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices.
