September 2026 Visa Bulletin

Final Action Date

Aug 22, 2026

You can get your visa or green card if your priority date is earlier than this date.

Date for Filing

Current

You can send in your documents whatever your priority date is. 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

The people at the front of the line now have a priority date from August 2026: they have waited about 0 months.

In the last 12 months, the Final Action Date moved forward 4 years.

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 Sep 1, 2022.

The September 2021 bulletin’s Final Action Date was Current.
