F2A January 2015 IV

[nertilduraku 2]

thanks for your information, my friend

[nertilduraku 2]

A fact that you always forget in the visa bulletin,

*NOTE: For January, F2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 22FEB13. F2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT MEXICO with priority dates beginning 22FEB13 and earlier than 15APR13. (All F2A numbers provided for MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no F2A numbers for MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)

Mexico eats the whole quota because they don't have any country limit which is the 7%

Do you know how many applicantions are pending for Mexico: 97,262

F2A Coutries waiting list as of November 2014 ,

Total pending: 257,355

Mexico 97,262 37.8%

Dominican Republic 33,436 13.0%

Cuba 13,024 5.1%

Philippines12,687 4.9%

Haiti 10,105 3.9%

All Others 90,841 35.3%

Also only 87,900 per year are avilable for F2A.

So how could i know the per country limit of 7% visas are avaiable for my country yearly?

87,900 * 0.07 will give you the upper limit for any country.

Last year they issued 21,589 visas only for mexico.

15,614 visas for Dominican because they exempt dates from the country limit to manipulate the country limit for some countries.

Last year issued 50,218 to North America from the overall Quota 87,900
