It is important to understand that the priority system in Family Based categories, such as F2B, works through a queue organized according to the priority date, which is determined when your petition is filed. This date is compared with the numbers published monthly in the Visa Bulletin, which vary depending on the country of chargeability and the visa category.
In the specific case of comparing with the dates for Mexico, the progress can be different for each region. If you have noticed that your F2B priority date appears to be ahead of the dates indicated for Mexico in the Visa Bulletin, this may simply mean that the queue for your country of chargeability (or the category applicable to your case) is advancing at a different pace.
However, it is essential to remember that these dates can change from month to month and that other administrative factors may also affect processing. Therefore, to have a more accurate conclusion about your situation, it is recommended to check the most recent Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State.
Additionally, it is always wise to stay updated through official sources, as this helps avoid misinformation, scams, or false promises of quick solutions. Remember that following immigration laws and consulting reliable specialized sources is fundamental to making the best decisions about your case.
Finally, maintaining caution and patience is essential, as the progress of the processes may fluctuate according to demand and changes in immigration policies. If you have specific questions, seek information directly from official channels or through qualified professionals, always avoiding marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results.
