All F3s

Only persons with a priority date earlier than a cut-off date are entitled to allotment of a visa
number. The cut-off dates are the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of a month, since VO groups demand
for numbers under these dates. (Priority dates of the first through seventh of a month are grouped
under the 1st, the eighth through the fourteenth under the 8th, etc.
I think you will have the intervien letter on next Visa Bulletin...

actually visa bulletin is out for October and cut off date is May 22 2004 so we should have interview in October but just haven't received any date and time yet.

When to File Your Adjustment of Status Application for Family-Based or Employment-Based Preference Visas

Visa Bulletin content has changed.* Learn more by readingUSCIS Announces Revised Procedures for Determining Visa Availability for Applicants Waiting to File for Adjustment of Status.

Are you seeking to adjust your status and become a U.S. permanent resident under a family-sponsored or employment-based preference immigrant visa?* If you have not yet had a relative or employer file an immigrant visa petition on your behalf, please learn more about the*Adjustment of Status Filing Process. If you already have a petition filed or approved on your behalf, you may have to wait for an available visa in your category (if applicable) before you can file your*Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.* This page will help you determine when to file your adjustment of status application.*

Find on this page:

When to FileAbout the Visa BulletinNew Visa Bulletin ChartsDetermining Visa Availability

When to File

Use the Visa Bulletin charts below to determine when to file your adjustment of status application.

To use the charts:

Find your visa type in the first column (on the left) of the appropriate chart (Family-sponsored or Employment-based).Stay in that row and move directly to the right to find the corresponding date under the country of your birth (as listed in the boldface columns across the top).*If the date on the chart is current (“C”) or your priority date is earlier than the date on the chart, you may file your adjustment of status application, if otherwise eligible to do so.

Your priority date is generally the date when your relative or employer properly filed the immigrant visa petition on your behalf with USCIS. If a labor certification is required to be filed with your immigrant visa petition, the priority date is the date the labor certification application was accepted for processing by the Department of Labor.

Note: The Department of State (DOS) normally posts the new Visa Bulletin the second week of the month before it will take effect. The*DOS Visa Bulletin*is the official source of these charts. For ease of reference, below is the current chart (posted within two days of DOS’ new Visa Bulletin).

About the Visa Bulletin

DOS publishes current immigrant visa availability information in a monthly*Visa Bulletin. The Visa Bulletin indicates when statutorily limited visas are available for issuance to prospective immigrants based on their individual priority date.*

On Nov. 20, 2014, the Secretary of Homeland Security directed USCIS to work with DOS to:

Ensure that all immigrant visas authorized by Congress are issued to eligible individuals when there is sufficient demand for such visas, andImprove the Visa Bulletin system for determining when immigrant visas are available to applicants during the fiscal year.

Additionally, in July 2015, the Administration issued its report on*Modernizing and Streamlining Our Legal Immigration System for the 21st Century. This report included detailed recommendations to revise and update the monthly Visa Bulletin to better estimate immigrant visa availabilty and provide needed predicability to nonimmigrant workers seeking permanent residency.

USCIS, in coordination with DOS, revised the procedures for determining visa availability for applicants waiting to file for adjustment of status.* The revised process will better align with procedures DOS uses for foreign nationals who seek to become U.S. permanent residents by applying for immigrant visas at U.S. consulates and embassies abroad.*

This revised process will enhance DOS’s ability to more accurately predict overall immigrant visa demand in determining the cut-off dates for the Visa Bulletin. This will help ensure that the maximum number of immigrant visas are issued annually as intended by Congress, and minimize month-to-month fluctuations in Visa Bulletin final action dates.* Additional goals are outlined in the White House report,Modernizing and Streamlining Our Legal Immigration System for the 21st Century.

New Visa Bulletin Charts

The Visa Bulletin will now have two different charts because of the revised procedures. DOS will post two charts per visa preference category in the DOS Visa Bulletin. The charts are:

Application Final Action Dates (dates when visas may finally be issued); andDates for Filing Applications (earliest dates when applicants may be able to apply).

When USCIS determines there are immigrant visas available for the filing of additional adjustment of status applications, the Dates for Filing Applications chart may be used to determine when to file an adjustment of status application with USCIS.* Otherwise, the Application Final Action Dates chart must be used to determine when to file an adjustment of status application with USCIS.

In coordination with the DOS, USCIS will monitor visa numbers each month and post the relevant chart on this page under When to File.

Back to top

Determining Visa Availability

USCIS considers several factors to determine if there is a greater supply of visas than the demand for those visas. To determine visa availability, USCIS will compare the number of visas available for the remainder of the fiscal year with:

Documentarily qualified visa applications reported by DOS;Pending adjustment of status applications reported by USCIS; andHistorical drop off rate of applicants for adjustment of status (for example, denials, withdrawals and abandonments).
