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.

Across the last twelve bulletins the final action date advanced in 3 and held in 9 of the month-to-month changes, a net movement of 28 months (853 days) between July 2025 and July 2026.
