This page tracks F4 (brothers and sisters of adult U.S. citizens) for applicants born in Mexico in every Visa Bulletin since October 2015. Movement is measured between published cutoff dates; it is not a forecast. USCIS counted 269,201 approved F4 petitions for people born in Mexico still waiting for a visa as of June 2026. USCIS counts only approved petitions whose priority date was not yet current that month, and only principal applicants, so the number falls whenever the cutoff moves.
