How do I check the Visa Bulletin?

The Visa Bulletin is an essential tool for those tracking visa processes, especially for categories like EB-4. It is published monthly by the U.S. Department of State and provides the priority dates that are currently being processed for each visa category.

To check the Visa Bulletin, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Access the official website of the U.S. Department of State, which gathers the updated information. Just type in the address bar: travel.state.gov and look for the Visa Bulletin section. There you will find the full bulletin, issued month by month.

2. Note the priority dates for your visa category – in the case of EB-4, look for the column corresponding to “Other Special Immigrants” or “EB-4”. It is there that the dates indicating which applications are available to proceed will be listed.

3. Carefully read the instructions and notes contained in the bulletin, as each month may have variations and additional information about the procedures to be followed.

It is important to emphasize the importance of regularly following these updates to know exactly when your priority date is current and when you can move forward to the next steps in the process. Also remember that strictly following immigration laws and regulations is fundamental; in case of doubts, it is recommended to seek information from official sources or consult qualified professionals in the area. This helps avoid scams and marketing campaigns that may offer miraculous solutions or unrealistic guarantees.

Always stay informed through official channels and avoid relying on unconfirmed information. This way, you will ensure that your immigration process path is clear and secure.
