What these dates mean

F4 is the category for siblings of adult 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.

Who qualifies for F4?

Why is Philippines listed separately?

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.
