Following up: did the visa office really listen to the advice above regarding F2B?
They needed to issue 2,800 F2B visas monthly. May: 1,554, June: 2,824. Catching up but slowly. July - September they have to issue 3,300 F2B’s per month. To do that PD need to move quickly.
The other interesting part is, of course, Dominican Republic. May to June F2B increased by 1,270. May to June F2B for DR increased by 1,212 (349 jump to 1,561 for DR). Fair to say all the increased visas went to one country.
