The Visa Bulletin is published monthly by the Department of State. Dates shown are as printed in each bulletin; which chart (final action or dates for filing) applies in a month is announced separately. This page records past bulletins only and makes no projection about future ones.

In the Visa Bulletin for July 2026, the final action date for F1 for All chargeability areas except those listed is 1 Feb 2018 and the date for filing is 1 Jan 2019.

Across the last twelve bulletins the final action date advanced in 4 and held in 8 of the month-to-month changes, a net movement of 19 months (566 days) between July 2025 and July 2026.
