This bulletin summarizes the
availability of immigrant numbers during June. Consular officers are
required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified
applicants for numerically limited visas; U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for
adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible, in
chronological order of reported priority dates, for demand received by May 8th.
If not all demand could be satisfied, the category or foreign state in which
demand was excessive was deemed oversubscribed. The cut-off date for an
oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who could
not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants who have a priority
date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a
number. If it becomes necessary during the monthly allocation process to
retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored
only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date announced in this
bulletin.
