Many people under petition are confused and mystified about the priority date on their petition, why it moves so slowly, why it may retrogress (or move backwards), or sometimes does not move at all. In other words, why does it take so long?

This means that those persons whose priority dates have either "retrogressed"or become unavailable cannot be processed for green cards or a visa until their priority dates become current again, possibly on October 1, 2001, when the new immigration fiscal year starts.
