Alter Date Bulletin For Free

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 applications, regardless of priority date.

New Visa Bulletin Charts Application Final Action Dates (dates when visas may finally be issued); and. Dates for Filing Applications (earliest dates when applicants may be able to apply).

You can check the visa stamping status online by visiting the official website of the visa issuing authority of the country you wish to travel to. You can check the status by using your passport number or else you can even use your application or reference number.

Important Terms in the Visa Bulletin. Priority date: This is the date that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) received your I-130 petition. Think of this date as your place in the green card line. You can find your priority date on the I-797 form mailed by USCIS approving your I-130 petition.

The 'Final Action Date' signifies when an immigrant visa number will be available for a foreign national with a current priority date that month. The visa or green card cannot be issued unless the applicant's priority date is earlier than the Final Action Date listed on the visa bulletin.

In the April 2023 Visa Bulletin, the EB-2 final action dates for Rest of World, Mexico, and the Philippines retrogressed to keep number use within the FY 2023 annual limit. This was due to higher than expected demand from applicants with priority dates earlier than the established final action dates.

Current: In the context of the visa bulletin, ?current? means no backlog and no wait time for a green card. A particular priority date becomes ?current? once it reaches the front of the line and a green card is available.

When you finally see a later date or the letter C on the Dates for Filing on the Visa Bulletin website, you will know that your priority date became current.

Unfortunately, if you previously filed your I-485 adjustment of status application but your priority date has retrogressed and is no longer current, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will not adjudicate your case until your priority date becomes current again.

Cross-chargeability means that sometimes a foreign national may be charged or assigned to a country that is different that his or her country of birth. It is a neat exception to the general rule of birth country chargeability.
