Hi,
The April 2017 visa bulletin is released and there is a note below in April 2017 visa bulletin. Does anyone know what does that mean? Does it mean F4 will be held for some time if demand on other categories increase? Should we not expect at least 2 or 3 weeks movement?

D. RAPID MOVEMENT IN WORLDWIDE FAMILY FOURTH
PREFERENCE CATEGORY
Despite the forward movement of the final action dates, the level of demand and resulting number use in several Family preferences has been below expectations. This lower than expected demand has resulted in advancement of the April Worldwide Family Fourth Preference date at a pace that covers the period of several months projected in the March Visa Bulletin’s “Visa Availability in the Coming Months”. This action will allow the overall desired allocation level of number use for and through April to be met. There are signs that demand in the other categories will increase in the coming months, resulting in the higher monthly allocation totals required to allow number use to reach those desired levels. The Fourth Preference date will then be held for a period of time while the anticipated monthly allocation levels in those other preferences increase, without drastically altering overall workload patterns.
