Wrong. Mexico is traditionally heavily oversubscribed in the F2A category, though they are only slightly oversubscribed currently. If their allotment is increased from 7% to 15% then all other countries will be pushed back in order to allow for a larger proportion of those visas to go to Mexico. Things will get dramatically worse for F2B's, as substantially more of the available visas will be allocated to Mexico and the Philippines. There are nearly 200 countries in the world. Allocating up to 15% of the visas in any one category to a single country is asinine.

yep....this is true for other categories but he is asking for f2a and my opinion is only for f2a....there is minor difference in cut off dates ... so if with only 7% visas ,maxico is only 1 month away from rest of the world then i dont think there should be huge difference if they allot 15%....

one more thing, in f2a we have fx ( 66000 visas) which dont care about per country limits...so i dont think 7% or 15 % of 22000 visas will create major problems for rest of world f2a...i hope this will clear the things...
