Visa Bulletin

The Visa Bulletin is a monthly publication by the U.S. Department of State that provides updates on the availability of immigrant visas for foreign nationals. It indicates which visa categories are open for new applicants based on their priority dates, which are determined by when the application was filed. The bulletin helps individuals and families understand when they might be able to move forward in the immigration process, ensuring they are aware of any waiting times or changes in visa availability. Essentially, it serves as a guide for navigating the U.S. immigration system.
