Understanding the Two Charts

Final Action Dates

For issuance of Green Cards. If your priority date is earlier than the date shown for your category and country, a visa number is available and your case can be approved. “Current” means all priority dates are being processed; “Unavailable” means no visa numbers are authorized this month.

Dates for Filing

For submitting I-485 applications. This chart shows the earliest priority date at which you may assemble and submit documents — ahead of final action — when USCIS designates this chart as usable for the month. It lets applicants get in line earlier while waiting for a visa number.

Data is scraped from the U.S. Department of State’s monthly Visa Bulletin within hours of publication, verified against an expectation model, and archived in raw form. Every figure links back to its official source. This site is an independent tracker and does not provide legal advice.
