USCIS allows Applicants in Employment Based and Family Based categories to use Date for Filing for Adjustment of Status in October

USCIS has determined that applicants may use the Dates for Filing chart on the Department of State’s (“DOS”) October Visa Bulletin.

For Family-Sponsored Filings: In the F2A category, there is a cutoff date on the Dates for Filing chart. However, the category is “current” on the Final Action Dates chart. This means that applicants in the F2A category may file using the Final Action Dates chart for October 2019. For all the other family-based preference categories, applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart.

For Employment-Based Preference Filings: Applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart in the Visa Bulletin. Since Vietnam is not listed on the Dates for Filing chart, adjustment applicants from Vietnam should use the worldwide dates found in the “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” column.

To understand more about the Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates charts on the DOS Visa Bulletin, read our article here.
