About This Dashboard
What is a Priority Date?
The priority date is the date when your immigration petition was filed. The Visa Bulletin publishes "cutoff dates" each month, which determine whose cases can move forward based on their priority dates. Learn more about priority dates →

- Choose your country of chargeability (birth country, not citizenship)
