F4 India priority date

F4 is for brothers and sisters of adult U.S. citizens. Applicants born in India have their own cutoff because demand from India exceeds the per-country limit.

The F4 India final action date is Dec 15, 2006 in the November 2026 Visa Bulletin (date for filing: Feb 1, 2007). It did not move since October 2026. Applicants reaching the cutoff now filed about 19.9 years ago.

Frequently asked questions

What is the current F4 India priority date?

In the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, the F4 India final action date is Dec 15, 2006 and the date for filing is Feb 1, 2007. For most other countries it is Oct 22, 2012.

How fast is F4 India moving?

Over the last 12 months the final action date moved forward 1.4 months. Average forward movement: 1.4 months/year (last year), 3 months/year (5 years), 4.6 months/year (10 years). One month of calendar time therefore moved the cutoff by about 0.2 months over the last five years.

When will a F4 India priority date in Dec 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 3 months/year, that takes about 4 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.
