New Visa Bulletin Charts
September 11th, 2015 by SRW Lawyers
The USCIS has recently released an update to the Visa Bulletin. Please review the following links for additional information.
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); and
- Dates 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.

Tracker has updated its Visa Bulletin Report found in the Reports section of Tracker to accommodate these changes. In the Visa Bulletin Report Tool, you’ll now see 2 radio buttons that will allow you to run two separate Reports based on the options listed above.
NOTE: The “Dates for Filing” will begin in October, therefore this selection can only currently be used when also selecting “Upcoming Month”. The Report will error if you chose otherwise. The “Final Action Dates” will continue to work for all selections.
