Understanding the Visa Bulletin
The Visa Bulletin, published monthly by the U.S. Department of State, shows which immigrant visa categories are currently being processed based on "priority dates." For EB-1 and EB-2 applicants, it indicates when green cards are available for specific countries of birth.
EB-1 Priority
Usually current for most countries; minor retrogression may occur for India and China.
EB-2 Priority
May have cutoff dates for high-demand countries; NIW applicants should monitor closely.
