Where do I find my Priority Date? If you are a prospective immigrant, you can find your priority date on Form I-797, "Notice of Action", for the petition filed on your behalf. The waiting time before receiving an immigrant visa or adjusting status depends on the: Demand for and supply of immigrant visas.

Even though the cutoff date for your category will retrogress next month, your adjustment application will remain pending. USCIS will simply wait until your priority date again is current before it moves ahead on or approves your application.

The filing of an I-140 is normally what gives an employee a priority date, except in the case where a PERM labor certification must be filed. In this case, the priority date is the date the PERM is filed with the Department of Labor.

Second preference (F2B) - unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of lawful permanent residents; Third preference (F3) - married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and. Fourth preference (F4) - brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age and older).

Family Preference Immigrant Visas are for more distant relatives, including: Children of U.S. citizens that are unmarried, and their minor children (F1) Spouses, minor children, and unmarried children of Legal Permanent Residents (F2) Children of U.S. citizens that are married, and their spouses and minor children (F3)

The application date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who cannot submit documentation to the National Visa Center for an immigrant visa. If a category is designated ?current,? all applicants in the relevant category may file applications, regardless of priority date.

In addition, you need to have a 'current' priority date to file Form I-485. As mentioned above, your priority date is the date your immigrant petition?such as Form I-140?was received by USCIS. If you want to file I-140 and I-485 at the same time (concurrently), your priority date will be the date you intend to file.
