A quick guide to the charts

Priority date

The date that establishes your place in the visa queue. Check your immigration notice.

Final Action Dates

Dates governing visa-number availability. Your priority date must be strictly earlier than a dated cutoff.

Dates for Filing

Dates governing document or application submission. USCIS separately chooses the chart for adjustment of status.

Chargeability

Usually the country where you were born, rather than your citizenship or residence. Exceptions can apply.

C / U

C means current with no dated cutoff. U means numbers are unavailable for this entry this month.

Retrogression

A cutoff moving backward to an earlier date. It is a chart change, not a prediction about an individual case.
