Visa Bulletin
March (marzec) 2012
Every month, the Department of State publishes the priority dates of certain applications that are being processed. Here we re-print that information. We cannot guarantee accuracy, and suggest you always contact our office for more detailed information and to verify the below.
Visa Bulletin processing dates are set by the Department of State after an analysis of the number of applicants applying for permanent residency compared to the limited number of visas available in every visa year (beginning October 1). The processing dates are subject to change each month, and may move forward or regress. At times, these processing dates also can move forward or backward by several months or even years.
