They do.

Not a question of right or wrong, it's all about getting a meaningful explanation as to why their numbers are high, because that would also inform why our cases have stalled. Being more deserving as an explanation doesn't stick.

1. There is no one individual/group responsible for distributing the Immigrant Visa Numbers to consulates. A miriad of factors guide this process. Entrenched in law and policy. So the question on favouritism is a bit outrageous. 2. Its inaccurate to compare visa issuance numbers through different administrations. Different times and circumstances. Most obvious one, Covid and The Trump ban played a huge role in the current backlogs we are seeing. Things were moving decently before all that. Still doesn't explain why Dominican Republic is opening interview slots and Issuing F2B Visas in staggering numbers.

Has there ever been some US-Dominican Republic immigration program that had Dominicans receive Huge Numbers of Green Cards in previous years??? Because Its puzzling to me why they have an unusually high number of FB Immigrant visas issued esp F2B. I'd expect a country like India, Mexico and the Philippines to have numbers like this but I have a feeling even if you move the Visa Bulletin a couple of months and consulates like India, Phillipines are asked to prioritize F2B, you still won't be seeing 1000 plus visas being issued like we are seeing with The Dominican Republic. Its crazier to think they are still receiving high numbers of F2B visas and the Visa Bulletin has not moved in 2 years. Will be interesting to see what the October Visa Issuance numbers will be for Dominican Republic. Any ideas why we are seeing this?

We can try predict using existing data. The Immigrant Visa Backlog report and Visa Bulletin speaks volumes. They've held the dates of filing chart meaning they are receiving and DQuing limited cases at NVC. On the other hand, Backlog has reduced to 275 K and they are scheduling 40K Visas monthly. Meaning it will take approximately 5 months to return to pre covid levels (60K backlog). I think we will start seeing movement when the backlog comes down to pre covid levels...as explained, probably 5 months from now. I may be wrong,🙂 Just another prediction but hopefully I'm right.
