The April 2018 USCIS Visa Bulletin has been released. For more details, please see below.
Dates for Filing Family-Sponsored Adjustment of Status Application:
Final Action Dates for Employment-Based Adjustment of Status Applications:
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.
