What each email covers
- Dates that moved forward — by category and country.
- Dates that moved backward — and by how many days.
- The record for next month — how often that calendar month has seen retrogression for your country, in every bulletin since 2001. A count from the past, not a forecast.
Every number comes from the official Visa Bulletin archive at travel.state.gov.
