Frequently asked questions

What is the current F2B Philippines priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the F2B Philippines final action date is Oct 1, 2013 and the date for filing is Oct 1, 2014. For most other countries it is Aug 22, 2020.

How fast is F2B Philippines moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 12 months. Average forward movement: 12 months/year (last year), 4.7 months/year (5 years), 9.2 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.4 months over the last five years.

When will a F2B Philippines priority date in Oct 2014 become current?

It is one year behind the current cutoff. If the final action date keeps moving at its five-year average pace of 4.7 months/year, that takes about 2.6 years. This is a projection from past movement, not a forecast by the State Department; demand, visa numbers and policy changes can make it much faster or slower.
