What these dates mean
F2B is the category for unmarried adult sons/daughters of green card holders. Chargeability: India.
When your priority date (PD) is earlier than the Final Action Date, a visa number is available and the green card can be approved. When it is earlier than the Dates for Filing cutoff you can submit your I-485 (if USCIS accepts that chart this month) or send documents to NVC. “C” means current — everyone qualifies; “U” means unavailable this month.
Chargeability follows country of birth, not citizenship. Cutoffs can stall or retrogress; this page only restates official data and is not legal advice.

Which chart do I use to file an I-485 in October 2026?
USCIS says family-based adjustment of status (I-485) applicants use the Dates for Filing chart in October 2026. For F2B India that cutoff is 01 Sep 2019; if your priority date is earlier, you can file.
Who qualifies for F2B?
F2B covers: Unmarried adult sons/daughters of green card holders. Your priority date is the date your I-130 was filed.
Why is India listed separately?
No single country may use more than about 7% of the visas in a year. Demand from India exceeds that cap, so it gets its own column and usually a longer wait. Chargeability follows country of birth, not citizenship; a spouse can sometimes be charged to the other spouse’s country (cross-chargeability).
When does the next Visa Bulletin come out?
The State Department usually publishes the next month’s bulletin around the middle of each month. This page updates automatically when it does.
