Priority date checker (EB-2 / EB-3)
See whether your priority date is earlier than the current Visa Bulletin cutoffs. This page does not predict future movement — it only compares your date to the published November 2026 charts.
Not legal advice / not a prediction. We do not forecast when a date will become current. Charts change monthly and can advance or retrogress. Verify on travel.state.gov and uscis.gov. A date earlier than a cutoff is only one requirement among many.

What “current” means here
- Dates for Filing: if your priority date is earlier than this cutoff (and USCIS is using this chart this month), you may be able to file an adjustment-of-status application if otherwise eligible. For November 2026, USCIS’s When-to-File page shows the Dates for Filing chart for employment-based cases.
- Final Action: if your priority date is earlier than this cutoff, a visa number is available for final action (approval / issuance), subject to all other requirements.
- DOS/USCIS rule: the priority date must be earlier than the listed date — the same date does not qualify.
