C'mon now! It would be a big stretch asking people to start using these predictors. Not at this point in time atleast when we just started having some movement after 4 years +

Thanks for the share. A very elaborate document. Hopefully this clears up any concerns raised about Dominican Republic numbers. And I will quote; ''INA Section 202 prescribes that visa issuances to nationals of any single country may not exceed seven percent during a fiscal year. This limit serves to avoid the potential monopolization of the annual limitation by applicants from only a few countries. That limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however. For FY 2024 the per-country limit will be approximately 27,090''

Smile brother Celebrate the small wins. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

Good God!!! Patience is indeed a virtue. This is very unexpected, pleasantly! Guys, keep staying hopeful.

We already have a year's prediction in last month's VB. (10 weeks movement in Q1and Q2, whatever that meant. You can't really fault the guy who grabbed 4 slices of Pizza if at the start everyone was told it was okay to do that by the supervisor. The guy just reacted quicker. DR numbers are legal. The laws and policies just need to change. The resentment won't help. I've heard many say these types of immigration visas to the US rarely exist in other first worlds, so its a privilege of some sorts. They may be right. We keep waiting!

Do you realize these numbers are etched in law? Is the USA DOS breaking the law in plain sight in regards to this matter? I bet not. Why are we not seeing class action lawsuits all over the place? And btw, the movement/spill over of FB to E visas is also in law so I'm confused when you say lawyers are pushing that. ion, I think this paragraph in the article shared above collaborates your analysis.

Great read. Thanks for the link.

Have you paused for a while and asked yourself that maybe you might be wrong with your calculations? And if I may ask, what do you think is the motivation of 'over issuing' visas to certain countries? (DR for e.g) I mentioned here before that I doubt visas are being issued to the said countries haphazardly because c'mon ... we would be hearing a lot of uproar from various quarters party to this matter.

Probably also meant it may move 10 weeks Q3 (to June) and 10 weeks Q4 (to Sept), 20 weeks to the end of the FY. We wait!

Funny how whoever drafted the text had to be so complicated; Would have been easy to say, 'this fiscal year'. The 'throughout Q3 and Q4' is confusing and unnecessary. lol Anyway, as said, we wait for next months VB, what they meant will be clearer.

This is big considering we haven't seen such movement in years. Lets hope it keeps up the pace (even more increases pace) as we get deep into the fiscal year. All the best good people, hang in there!

Not sure what you mean but they can and have advanced dates before (last VB) irrespective of Current numbers in DR. Nobody out here knows how and when they advance dates because specific Current and DQ numbers for specific countries/regions aren't provided. I guess it's an internal thing and how they advance dates is at their discretion. That's why we have Visa Bulletins after they are done with their internal processes 🤷

Well, I'm not an expert in interpreting law...but I'm inclined to believe that if any law is being broken here by the state, we would have been seeing a lot more uproar. That's why I feel there is something you are missing.

Its time we stop focusing on DR numbers. Most seem to suggest the numbers they are receiving are 'illegal', which I doubt is the case. Probably our math or understanding of the cap numbers is wrong. There are a miriad of reasons why things are sluggish, and we all know them. As one stated, these kinds of visas seldom exists for other countries, we are at their mercy, and it shows with the way they treat these FB visas. The law just needs to change for significant improvements to be seen. For now, Let's hope things ramp up soon.
