Frequently asked questions

What is the current F4 Mexico priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the F4 Mexico final action date is Apr 22, 2001 and the date for filing is Apr 30, 2001. For most other countries it is Oct 22, 2012.

How fast is F4 Mexico moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 0.5 months. Average forward movement: 0.5 months/year (last year), 5.3 months/year (5 years), 4.7 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.4 months over the last five years.

When will a F4 Mexico priority date in Apr 2002 become current?

It is one year behind the current cutoff. If the final action date keeps moving at its five-year average pace of 5.3 months/year, that takes about 2.3 years. This is a projection from past movement, not a forecast by the State Department; demand, visa numbers and policy changes can make it much faster or slower.
