[Summary] => I was able to receive my green card, but then the priority date on my petition retrogressed (went backwards) before I was able to bring my family from the Philippines. I have now been waiting several years, and the priority date is moving forward so slowly. Is there any other, or faster, way that I can bring my spouse and kids to the US
