Where these numbers come from

Final action dates and dates for filing are taken from the June 2008 Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. This page reproduces that bulletin's own record for every category and country it printed; for the full history of a single category and country, see its green card wait time page.

Source

Every date on this page comes from the June 2008 Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. Nothing here is estimated, interpolated or filled in, and the designations Current and Unavailable are reproduced exactly as printed.

This bulletin as published, archived copy of the page.

These figures were recovered from an archived capture of the bulletin rather than read from the live State Department page.

Backlog years, pace and projections are arithmetic on those dates and are described on the methodology page. Corrections: data@visabacklog.com.
