USCIS, in coordination with Department of State (DOS), is revising the procedures for determining visa availability for applicants waiting to file for employment-based or family-sponsored preference adjustment of status. The revised process will better align with procedures DOS uses for foreign nationals who seek to become U.S. permanent residents by applying for immigrant visas at U.S. consulates and embassies abroad.

This revised process will enhance DOS’s ability to more accurately predict overall immigrant visa demand and determine the cut-off dates for visa issuance published in the Visa Bulletin. This will help ensure that the maximum number of immigrant visas are issued annually as intended by Congress, and minimize month-to-month fluctuations in Visa Bulletin final action dates.

The Visa Bulletin revisions implement November 2014 executive actions on immigration announced by President Obama and Secretary of Homeland Security Johnson, as detailed in the White House report, Modernizing and Streamlining Our Legal Immigration System for the 21st century, issued in July 2015.
美國移民排期表的修改落實了奧巴馬總統(tǒng)和國土安全部部長約翰遜2014年11月所宣布的移民行政法令，具體可見于2015年7月所發(fā)行的白宮報告《現(xiàn)代化并簡化我們21世紀(jì)的合法移民體制》。

美國國務(wù)院的美國移民排期表將公布簽證優(yōu)先類別的兩個圖表數(shù)據(jù)：
•Application Final Action Dates (dates when visas may finally be issued); and
•申請最終發(fā)放日期(簽證最終得以發(fā)放的日期);
•Dates for Filing Applications (earliest dates when applicants may be able to apply).
•遞交申請日期(申請人可以申請的最早日期)。
Each month, in coordination with DOS, USCIS will monitor visa numbers and post the relevant DOS Visa Bulletin chart. Applicants can use the charts to determine when to file their Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

To determine whether additional visas are available, USCIS will compare the number of visas available for the remainder of the fiscal year with:
