Adjust Date Bulletin For Free

This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during December for: Final Action Dates and Dates for Filing Applications, indicating when immigrant visa applicants should be notified to assemble and submit required documentation to the National Visa Center.

The application date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who cannot submit documentation to the National Visa Center for an immigrant visa. If a category is designated current, all applicants in the relevant category may file, regardless of priority date.

Your priority date is generally the date when your relative or employer properly filed the immigrant visa petition on your behalf with USCIS.

The recording is normally updated on/about the 17th of each month with information on final action dates for the following month.

The Department of State also has available a recorded message with visa final action dates which can be heard at: (202) 485-7699. The recording is normally updated on/about the 17th of each month with information on final action dates for the following month.

The visa bulletin is issued every month by the Department of State. It shows which green card applications can move forward, based on when the I-130 petition that starts the green card process was originally filed.If you're in a different category, your green card wait time may vary from years to decades.

Visa retrogression is usually caused because the annual limit for a category or country has been used up or is expected to be used up soon. Usually, things return to normal (the cut-off dates shift back to where they were before the retrogression) when the new fiscal year begins on October 1.
