January 2022 Visa Bulletin: Adjustment of Status Filing Charts

December 22, 2021

Following the U.S. Department of State’s release of the January 2022 Visa Bulletin, USCIS has advised which chart prospective green card applicants should refer to when determining if they are eligible to file an application in January 2022.

Note:  Where “C” is listed, the category is current and applications may be filed regardless of the applicant’s priority date.  Where a date is listed for a category, applications may be filed if the applicant’s priority date is earlier than the listed date.

Family-Sponsored Applicants: Dates for Filing Chart (Except F2A Category)

In the F2A category, a cut-off date is listed on the “Dates for Filing” chart while the category is current on the “Final Action Dates” chart.  Therefore, applicants in the F2A category should refer to the “Final Action Dates” chart in the Department of State Visa Bulletin (below).

All other family-sponsored applicants should refer to the “Dates for Filing” chart below.
