I've often written about cut-off dates published in the monthly visa bulletin. But what does a cut-off date really mean? How is it determined?
Well, the Department of State publishes visa statistics tables and a document called Operation of the Immigrant Numerical Control System. The document clearly explains how cut-off dates are determined and allocated per preference category.
The terms priority date, documentarily qualified, foreign state changeability and allotment are also defined.
Curious? Interested? Check it out here.
Happy Migrating!
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.
