How to read this

  • Current means anyone in that category can move ahead. Unavailable means no visas can be issued this month.
  • A date means people with a priority date before it can move ahead. ▲ is forward movement since last month, ▼ a step back (retrogression).
  • Your wait depends on your country of birth, not citizenship. A spouse's country can sometimes be used.
  • New bulletins are entered by editors from travel.state.gov each month. Read the full guide to the Visa Bulletin.
