Priority Dates Explained

Your priority date is the date USCIS receives your Form I-140. This date is critical as it determines your place in line for your green card. Staying aware of your priority date helps you track your progress and plan accordingly.

Adjustment of Status vs. Consular Processing

• Adjustment of Status (AOS): For individuals already in the U.S. This process allows you to change your status to permanent resident without leaving the country.
• Consular Processing: For individuals outside the U.S. This process involves applying for a visa through a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country.

Checking the Visa Bulletin

To see if your priority date is current, be sure to check the Visa Bulletin monthly. This bulletin provides updates on visa availability and can help you understand when you can move forward with your application.
