US VISA- OPINION IMMIGRATION CORNER: 16 Feb The March 2022 Priority Dates
IMMIGRATION CORNER
– Michael J. Gurfinkel –
The Philippine Star
Each month, the Visa Office of the State Department publishes, in the Visa Bulletin, the priority dates for that particular month, for the various family and employment-based categories. A priority date is a person’s “place in line” for a visa, meaning immigrant visas (or green cards) would be available for persons whose priority date is earlier than the cut-off date listed below. If your priority date was “current,” but later retrogressed (or “moved backwards” and became unavailable) before your immigrant visa was issued (or before you adjusted status in the U.S.), you would have to wait until it becomes current again. “Caution: if your Final Action\Visa Issuance date has been current for more than a year, and you were notified by the NVC, but did not respond, you could risk your case being canceled or terminated.”
