USCIS has posted a series of updated instructions for using the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin. According to USCIS, if it determines that there are more immigrant visas available for a fiscal year than there are known applicants, it will state at www.uscis.gov/visabulletininfo that applicants may use the Dates for Filing Visa Applications chart. Unless otherwise noted, the Application Final Action Date chart will be used to determine when individuals may file their adjustment of status applications.
USCIS anticipates it will make this determination each month and post the relevant chart on its website within a week of the Department of State’s publication of the Visa Bulletin.
