The dates below indicate the immigrant visa "priority dates" currently being processed - for example, family 1st preference green card applicants from Mexico who apply in May 2008 will face more than a 15-year wait for their application to begin to be processed because the USCIS is still working on applications that were originally filed on July 8, 1992.

To receive regular Visa Bulletins directly from the US Department of State, please contact them via one of the methods below:

Online: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

Email: VISABULLET@SA1WPOA.US-STATE.GOV (you may contact the Bulletin by email, but it is not distributed by email)

Telephone: (202) 663-1541, for a 24-hour recording that gives the monthly priority dates that are currently being processed. The recording is updated in the middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following month.

Fax: From your fax, dial (202) 647-3000. Follow the prompts and enter code 1038 to have the Visa Bulletin faxed to you.

Mail: To be placed on the Visa Bulletin mailing list (or to change an address), write to:

Visa Bulletin
Visa Office
Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20522-0106

Please note: Only addresses within the U.S. postal system may be placed on the mailing list. When reporting changes or corrections of address, include a recent mailing label. The Postal Service does NOT automatically notify the Visa Office of address changes. (Obtaining the Visa Bulletin by mail is a much slower option than any of the alternatives mentioned above.)
