What the State Department said

Mexico f2a visa availability during the coming months

Continued heavy demand for numbers in the Mexico F2A category will require the retrogression of this cut-off date beginning in July to hold number use within the annual numerical limit.

U.S. Department of State, Visa Bulletin for June 2008
Employment third preference visa availability

Demand for numbers, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases, is expected to bring the Employment Third preference category very close to the annual numerical limit in June. As a result, this category is likely to experience retrogressions or visa unavailability beginning in July. Such action would only be temporary, however, and a complete recovery of the cut-off dates would occur for October, the first month of the new fiscal year.
