When we talk about Family Based visas, it is important to remember that each category has its peculiarities and monthly variations in the Visa Bulletin, the official bulletin that publishes the priority date numbers. This means that the waiting time in one category can vary from month to month, depending on several factors.
Specifically, the F3 category (married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens) can indeed experience a greater retrogression than F4 (siblings of U.S. citizens) in certain months of the Visa Bulletin. This variation occurs due to how the number of available visas is distributed and the volume of applications in each category. During some periods, there can be very high demand in F3 that accelerates the retrogression in that queue, temporarily making the waiting time longer than that of F4.
It is always essential to monitor updates to the Visa Bulletin and, if doubts arise or guidance is needed, seek information through official channels or professionals qualified in the immigration area. This way, you stay up to date with the laws and avoid risks of falling victim to scams or marketing campaigns that promise quick solutions without legal foundation.
Remember that following the immigration regulations and laws of the United States is essential for the success and safety of your process. Staying well informed and consulting reliable sources can make all the difference in this journey.
