What the State Department said

Visa availability in the Mexico family fourth preference category

Cut-off date movement in the Mexico Family Fourth preference has been very rapid during the past year. Therefore, it is expected that demand for immigrant numbers in the months ahead will be very heavy. As a result, there will be limited, if any, movement in the Mexico Family Fourth preference cut-off date for the remainder of fiscal year 2004.
