How we estimate, and why it is only an estimate
- We compare your priority date with the latest cutoff. If your date is earlier, or the category is "C" (current), your turn is available now.
- We average how far the cutoff advanced per month over the last 12 bulletins and divide the remaining gap by it.
- Bulletins can stall or move backwards (retrogression), so this is not a promise. Check every month.
- After your date is current there are still steps: the National Visa Center, the interview, security checks and travel-ban rules for some countries.
Read what changed this month and the I-130 guide, and see every category in the bulletin tracker.
An educational tool based on published bulletins, not legal advice. Do not base travel or job decisions on the estimate alone.
