Your Green Card Journey

Three dates control your path to a green card. Here is what each one means.

Step 1

Priority Date

You join the queue

The date your petition was filed. Think of it as your ticket number that marks your place in line.

Step 2

Dates for Filing

You can file your I-485

Once your priority date passes this cut-off you can submit your I-485 application and get work and travel authorization while you wait.

Step 3

Final Action Date

Your green card is approved

Once your priority date passes this cut-off USCIS can approve your green card.

Done

Green Card

Permanent Resident!

Current

No queue for that category and country. You can apply right away.

Country Cap

Only 7% of annual green cards can go to any one country. This is why India and China have long backlogs while many others show "Current".

Filing Gap

How far ahead of the Final Action Date you can already file your I-485. A bigger gap gives you more time to prepare.

Backlog and Wait Time

Estimated time until your priority date becomes current, based on the current pace of movement. Not a guarantee.

Bulletin Month

The month the Visa Bulletin was published. This is the X axis on the charts, where each point represents one monthly update.
