Visa Bulletin tracker — November 2026
Employment-based EB-2 and EB-3 cutoffs from the monthly Visa Bulletin, plus an email alert when a new bulletin is published. Use this with our priority date checker.
Not legal advice. Always verify on the official Department of State Visa Bulletin and the USCIS When to File page before making any filing decision. A priority date must be earlier than the listed cutoff (equality does not qualify). “Current” means numbers are available for otherwise eligible applicants in that cell.

How to read the two charts
- Dates for Filing — when USCIS says you may submit an I-485 (if otherwise eligible) in a month when USCIS designates this chart.
- Final Action Dates — when immigrant visa numbers are available for approval / issuance.
- USCIS announces each month which chart employment-based and family-sponsored applicants must use on its When to File page.
