April 2019 Visa Bulletin

Subsequent to the issuance of the April 2019 Visa Bulletin, USCIS has informed prospective applicants of which priority-date chart should be referenced for applications filed in April:

Family-Sponsored Applicants: Dates for Filing chart

For the month of April, family-sponsored applicants should reference the “dates for filing” chart in the visa bulletin. In the chart below, “C” indicates that the category is current, and that applications may be filed regardless of the applicant’s priority date. The listing of a date for any category indicates that only applicants with a priority date which is earlier than the listed date may file their application (Department of State, “Visa Bulletin for April 2019”).

Employment-Based Applicants: Final Action Date chart

For the month of April, employment-based applicants should reference the “final action dates” chart in the visa bulletin. In the chart below, “C” indicates that the category is current, and that applications may be filed regardless of the applicant’s priority date. The listing of a date for any category indicates that only applicants with a priority date which is earlier than the listed date may file their application (Department of State, “Visa Bulletin for April 2019”).
