F3 Mexico Priority Date Forecast

F3 covers married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, and for Mexico the Final Action Date runs roughly a quarter-century behind — one of the longest family waits in the Visa Bulletin. Here is how it has actually moved, and what our velocity model projects from the current cutoff.

Current F3 Mexico Final Action Dates (July 2026): Jun 1, 2001

Cutoff movement

Higher = a more recent priority date is being processed (faster). Flat or downward stretches are stalls and retrogressions. Months where the category was Unavailable are not plotted.

Worked example — priority date January 1, 2003

Over the trailing window this cutoff has not advanced on net (median 0 days/month, 0 retrogressions). We do not publish a forward date when the data shows no measurable forward movement — that would be a guess.

This is a statistical projection of cutoff movement, not a prediction of your individual case. Run your own date in the priority date calculator, or see the methodology and our accuracy scorecard.
