Subsequent to the issuance of the October 2019 Visa Bulletin, USCIS has informed prospective applicants of which chart to reference when determining if they are eligible to file an application in October.

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

In October 2019, most family sponsored applicants should refer to the “Dates for Filing” chart in the Department of State Visa Bulletin (below). The “C” listing 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 October 2019”).

Dates for Filing for Family-Sponsored Applicants:

NOTE: Applicants in the F2A category may file based on the “Final Action Dates” chart in October 2019. This category includes Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents.
