What these dates mean

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

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.

Compared with October 2025 (Final Action Date 01 Oct 2012), the October 2026 Final Action Date has advanced 1 yr 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 Philippines that cutoff is 01 Oct 2014; 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 Philippines listed separately?

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