FAQ

Common questions

Has the February 2026 Visa Bulletin been published?

This page prioritizes the official DOS bulletin for February 2026. If that month is not available yet, it clearly falls back to the latest published official bulletin instead of treating an unpublished month as final.

Which USCIS filing chart applies for February 2026?

The page includes the current USCIS filing-chart source when available. For I-485 filing, use USCIS monthly guidance for the relevant employment-based or family-sponsored chart, not DOS Chart B alone.

Where does this page get its cutoff data?

Cutoffs, movement history, and source links are organized from DOS Visa Bulletin data and USCIS Adjustment of Status filing-chart guidance. The page is data context, not case-specific legal advice.
