Where do the February 2025 cutoff dates come from?
All dates on this page are Final Action Dates published by the U.S. Department of State in the official Visa Bulletin. They are reproduced verbatim — no values are estimated or projected.
What does 'C' and 'U' mean on the Visa Bulletin?
'C' means Current — a visa number is immediately available. 'U' means Unavailable — the annual supply for that category and chargeability has been exhausted and no final action can be taken until it reopens.
How do I use these cutoffs with my priority date?
If your priority date is earlier than or equal to the cutoff for your category and country of chargeability, you are Current. Use the Visafig calculators to check your status or plan backward from a target green-card year.
