About Paiqi Calculator (排期 — Visa Bulletin queue / priority date schedule)
Why this site exists
Paiqi Calculator is named after the Chinese pinyin word 排期 (paiqi) — literally "arranged schedule," which English speakers know as "the Visa Bulletin queue" or "the priority date schedule." It is a multilingual Visa Bulletin reference and forecasting site built to turn scattered official immigration updates into a clearer, source-backed workflow.
About Paiqi Calculator (排期 — Visa Bulletin queue / priority date schedule)
What "Paiqi" means in English
Paiqi is the pinyin spelling of the Chinese word 排期. The two characters mean "arrange" (排) and "schedule" (期). In immigration usage it refers specifically to the U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin queue — the priority date schedule that decides when an employment- or family-based green card category becomes current.
English speakers usually translate 排期 as "the Visa Bulletin queue," "the priority date schedule," or simply "the queue." Throughout this site, "Paiqi Calculator" means the same thing as "Visa Bulletin queue calculator" — a forecasting and tracking tool for that schedule.

What the site publishes
Paiqi Calculator tracks Department of State Visa Bulletin release timing, official cutoff charts, and USCIS filing-chart guidance. It also publishes multilingual explanations so the same core information is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Hindi.
The goal is not to replace the government pages. The goal is to make the official signal easier to understand, compare, and verify.

Official cutoff table tracking with movement summaries

What gives this site original value
A raw tool with one chart or one predicted date can look thin. This site adds value by combining official release history, official PDF timestamp evidence, structured cutoff comparisons, methodology notes, and multilingual editorial context on top of the source pages.
That extra layer is the point: readers should be able to see the government fact, understand the model, and decide how much trust to place in the estimate.

Who this is for
The site is meant for immigrants, families, lawyers, community moderators, and anyone tracking monthly Visa Bulletin movement who wants a cleaner, source-backed reference page.
It is an informational product, not a legal service. Final filing and case decisions should still be checked against the official government guidance for the relevant month.

Who maintains this site
Paiqi Calculator is an independently maintained information site built around official DOS and USCIS source pages. The site reads the Visa Bulletin as a public record, not as legal advice, and organizes scattered official material into clearer source-backed pages.
Every data pull, forecast tweak, and written explanation is reviewed against the official source material. Public pages explain the methodology so readers can audit the reasoning behind changes.
Paiqi Calculator does not sell visa services, immigration consulting, or legal advice. Paiqi Calculator is explicitly not a law firm, not an agent, and not a service provider. If you need case-specific help, talk to a licensed immigration attorney in your jurisdiction.

How editorial changes are reviewed
Source data syncs run on a scheduled job that pulls directly from the DOS Visa Bulletin archive and USCIS filing-chart pages. Whenever a new official bulletin lands, the snapshot is refreshed, the forecast is re-run against the latest history, and any written explanation that references the prior month is reviewed for accuracy.
When editorial copy changes (a glossary term, a guidance Q&A, a blog article), the change goes through the public repository as a commit with a diff anyone can read. Translations for Chinese and Hindi are reviewed against the English source for consistency, not produced by raw machine translation.
