Visa Bulletin Priority Date TrackerKnow where you stand every month
I've worked in U.S. business immigration for more than 15 years, and I get the same questions every month: "Can you check my priority date?" "Am I reading this right?" "Which chart am I supposed to use?"
I get it. The Visa Bulletin is confusing, and when your stability is riding on that one date, you want to be sure you don't miss anything. So I built Connect by InHouse Core to monitor it, and your other important dates and deadlines, for you.

How Connect by InHouse Core tracks your priority date
Tell us three things, once
Your country of birth, your priority date and your green card category. That's it.
We check every new bulletin
When the Visa Bulletin comes out each month, your dashboard updates with a clear answer: current or not current.
You hear about it
You get a dashboard notification, plus an email or text if you've opted in. No more scrolling through charts trying to find your row.
It checks the chart USCIS is actually using
The Visa Bulletin has two charts, and this is where most people get tripped up.
Final Action Dates show when a green card can actually be approved. Dates for Filing show an earlier cutoff, when you may be able to file your I-485 adjustment of status application, but only in the months USCIS says it will accept that chart. USCIS decides which chart applies each month, and it can pick differently for family-based and employment-based cases.
Connect by InHouse Core reads which chart USCIS is using that month and gives you your answer based on that one. So you're not just looking at a date... you're looking at the right date.

Frequently asked questions
What is a priority date?
It's your place in line for a green card. For most employment-based cases, it's the date your PERM labor certification was filed, or your I-140 if no PERM was needed. You'll find it on your I-797 approval notice.
What does "C" mean in the Visa Bulletin?
"C" means current: everyone in that category and country can move forward, no matter their priority date. "U" means unavailable: no visas can be issued in that category that month.
How often does the Visa Bulletin come out?
Once a month, published by the U.S. Department of State.
Which categories does Connect by InHouse Core cover?
Family-based and employment-based preference categories in the Visa Bulletin.
Does this replace my attorney?
No. It tells you where you stand, so you call your attorney when you already know, not because you need an update.
