What these dates mean

F3 is the category for married sons/daughters of US citizens. 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.

USCIS says family-based adjustment of status (I-485) applicants use the Dates for Filing chart in October 2026. For F3 Philippines that cutoff is 22 Oct 2006; if your priority date is earlier, you can file.

Who qualifies for F3?

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.
