Secure Date Bulletin For Free

Priority dates usually change from month to month, so it is wise to check the Bulletin each month to determine eligibility for filing Form I-485. USCIS updates this page each month to help individuals track their eligibility for filing their Form I-485 Adjustment of Status application.

1. Determine your Priority Date. This is the date that your approved Form I-130 was filed. This date appears on the Form I-797 that USCIS issued to your petitioner when the Form I-130 was approved (refer to the ?Receipt Date?).

Unfortunately, if you previously filed your I-485 adjustment of status application but your priority date has retrogressed and is no longer current, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will not adjudicate your case until your priority date becomes current again.

You have reached the front of the line when your priority date becomes "current." The U.S. Department of State publishes a monthly visa bulletin that lists the priority dates which have become current.

To preserve the priority date, the petitioner must file Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with USCIS within 180 days of the DOL approval date on the labor certification or else the labor certification is no longer valid.

The US Department of State has released its October 2023 Visa Bulletin outlining per-country priority date cutoffs that regulate immigrant visa availability and the flow of adjustment of status application and consular immigrant visa application filings and approvals.

A security bulletin is created when an implementation provides a mitigation to a disclosed vulnerability. The vulnerability can be specific to an implementation or generic to the protocol. It is important for administrators to keep current with all mitigations provided by the implementations.
