Frequently asked questions

What is the current F3 Philippines priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the F3 Philippines final action date is Jul 22, 2006 and the date for filing is Oct 22, 2006. For most other countries it is Oct 22, 2015.

How fast is F3 Philippines moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 21.9 months. Average forward movement: 22 months/year (last year), 9.9 months/year (5 years), 14.3 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.8 months over the last five years.

When will a F3 Philippines priority date in Jul 2007 become current?

It is one year behind the current cutoff. If the final action date keeps moving at its five-year average pace of 9.9 months/year, that takes about 1.2 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.
