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 F2B for China (mainland born) is 22 Nov 2017 and the date for filing is 8 Jun 2018.

Across the last twelve bulletins the final action date advanced in 5 and held in 7 of the month-to-month changes, a net movement of 13 months (403 days) between July 2025 and July 2026.
