Where do you stand?
The H-1B Barometer turns this bulletin data (plus PERM processing times, lottery rates, and tech hiring) into a monthly 0–100 reading — and its personal calculator compares your own category, country, and priority date against the published Final Action dates. Facts only, no predicted dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a prediction of when my priority date will become current?
No. Every table and chart on this page is a measurement of what the U.S. State Department has already published in past Visa Bulletins. Final Action dates can advance, stall, or retrogress without warning, and no historical pace guarantees any future movement. We never publish predicted dates.
Why doesn't my country appear?
The Visa Bulletin lists separate cutoff dates only for countries that are oversubscribed. We track the three columns that drive most employment-based demand: India, China (mainland born), and “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” (rest of world). Mexico and the Philippines, which the bulletin lists separately, are not tracked as separate columns in this version — when they match the rest-of-world dates, that column applies.
What is a Final Action date?
The Final Action date (Chart A of the Visa Bulletin) is the cutoff the State Department uses to decide when an immigrant visa can actually be issued: your petition's priority date must be earlier than the listed date. The bulletin also publishes a separate Dates for Filing chart (Chart B), which this tracker does not yet cover.
What do Current and Unavailable mean?
“Current” (C) means no cutoff applies — every priority date in that category and country can move forward that month. “Unavailable” (U) means the State Department published no Final Action date for the cell that month. Both are statuses, not movements, so no day-count is shown for them.
