What these dates mean

F2B is the category for unmarried adult sons/daughters of green card holders. Chargeability: Mexico.

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.

FAQ

What is the F2B Mexico priority date in October 2026?

Compared with October 2025 (Final Action Date 15 Dec 2007), the October 2026 Final Action Date has advanced 2 yr 5 mo from October 2025. Bulletins can stall or retrogress, so past speed is no promise.

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 Mexico that cutoff is 22 Mar 2011; 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 Mexico listed separately?

No single country may use more than about 7% of the visas in a year. Demand from Mexico 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.
