This table compares the number of U.S. Green Cards issued under immediate relative (spouse, parent, and child of a U.S.C) and family preferences (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4) through the U.S. Consulate of Manila, the Philippines (MNL) in Fiscal Year 2022 with Fiscal Year 2019 (pre-pandemic).
The focus is still on Immediate Relatives and yet they are 30 to 50% behind the pre-pandemic levels.
The family preferences all post dismal results being more than 70% behind.
Significant consequences on the Visa Bulletin dates can be feared.
