Visa Bulletin wait-time estimator

See how far your priority date is from the current Final Action Date, and an illustrative wait range based on how the date has moved over the past year. It is not a forecast.

Your priority date is on your I-797 receipt or approval notice. For a self-petition such as EB-1A or NIW it is generally the date the I-140 was filed. For a PERM-based case it is generally the date the PERM was filed. Nothing you enter is stored or sent.

Current cut-off: Nov 1, 2013

Data through the Oct 2026 bulletin. U.S. Department of State, Visa Bulletin, Section A (Final Action Dates), employment-based. C = current, U = unavailable. We update this monthly. Check the official bulletin before relying on any date.

Read this first. This tool uses Final Action Dates only. USCIS decides each month whether adjustment applicants use the Final Action Dates chart or the Dates for Filing chart, so you may be able to file earlier than the date you are waiting for. See Dates for Filing vs. Final Action Dates. Spillover, retrogression and policy changes can move dates in ways this tool cannot see. This is general information, not legal advice. Ask an immigration attorney about your case.
