Nothing against DR. Things are “sluggish” because we’re not focusing on the rules. As the visa bulletin states every month: “Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620”. This is subsequently spelled out more clearly here: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Immigrant-Statistics/Web_Annual_Numerical_Limits_FY2024.pdf In FY 2024, it could even be Philippines. Their PD cutoff dates are far behind other countries including DR. The point is, once these countries reach the threshold, other countries should be given a fair chance.

Philippines, DR and Jamaica did receive F1’s. In fact DR is halfway past their annual quota of 1638 F1’s for 2024 (@860 now). Speaking of which, DR is already close to their annual limit of 1838 F2B’s for 2024 (@1661 now).

Monthly report for November is out. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/immigrant-visa-statistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html F2B for DR is down: from 1286 in October to 375. Not sure if it’s a good sign or bad, since total F2B visas also reduced to 1158!! In October it was 2581.
