September 2026 Visa Bulletin

Final Action Date

Unavailable

No visas are left in this category this month, whatever your priority date is.

Date for Filing

Jan 15, 2015

You can send your documents to the National Visa Center if your priority date is earlier than this date. In the US, USCIS says each month which chart decides when you can file Form I-485.

Your priority date is usually the day USCIS received your I-130 or I-140 petition, or, when you needed a labor certification, the day it was filed. It is on your I-797 notice. Source: the September 2026 Visa Bulletin.

How fast the line moves

No visas are left in this category this month, so the line is not moving.

Its last cutoff date, in the June 2026 bulletin, was Sep 1, 2013.

Details

The line does not move at a steady pace. It can stand still for months, jump forward, or move back. It often moves back in the summer, near the end of the US government’s year, and forward again in October. So past movement cannot tell you exactly when your date will come.

The September 2025 bulletin’s Final Action Date was Jan 1, 2013.

The September 2021 bulletin’s Final Action Date was Sep 1, 2011.
