What these dates mean

F3 is the category for married sons/daughters of US citizens. Chargeability: Rest of World (all chargeability areas not listed).

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.
