“Current” means no backlog for that category and area this month; “Unavailable” means no visa numbers are authorized. Dates are cut-offs: your priority date must be earlier than the listed date for the category to be current for you.

Never miss a Visa Bulletin move

One short email when a new bulletin is published — and an extra alert when the cut-off for your category and country moves, or your own priority date becomes current. Free, and easy to leave.

Double opt-in: we first email you a confirmation link — you are only subscribed once you click it. Fine-tune your category, country and priority date on the alerts page. No spam, no sharing your address, ever.
