| Final Action Date | November 1, 2013 |
|---|---|
| Date for Filing | January 15, 2015 |
| I-485 this month (USCIS uses Dates for Filing) | You can file |
| Past error at 6 months behind (our model) | ±6 mo., range held 67 % |
| I-485 employment, national average (August 2026) | 11.8 months |
| Government fees (paper filing, with work permit and travel permit) | $3,645 |
How this was calculated
- The October 2026 Final Action Date for EB-2, India, is November 1, 2013; your priority date is June 1, 2014, 7 months later.
- For each of the 117 months of the last 10 years, we measured how long this cutoff took to move forward by that same distance. Half the cases took 11 months; 20% took 4 months or less; 80% took 1 year 11 months or less.
- Back-test from October 2012 to October 2025: for people 6 months behind, the middle estimate was off by a median of 6 months (a naive “last 12 months” rule: 17), and the range held the real date 67 % of the time. That fails our publication rule, so no date is shown.
- Fees: I-140 $715 + I-140 $600 + I-485 $1,440 + I-765 $260 + I-131 $630 (USCIS Form G-1055, edition 10/07/26, and State Department visa fees).

A priority date becomes current when the Visa Bulletin’s Final Action Date for your category and country of chargeability moves past it. This calculator reads the latest bulletin, tells you whether you are current, how far behind you are and whether USCIS lets you file Form I-485 this month, and then estimates when the cutoff will reach you. The estimate is a range, never a single date: the fastest 20% and the slowest 20% of past outcomes for people at the same distance behind the same cutoff are left outside it. It is shown only where the method held up in a back-test over 294 bulletins: of 220 combinations of case and distance, 66 pass with our model and 15 more with the simpler rule of the last 12 months. Everywhere else the answer is “no reliable forecast”, because a date that fails its own test would only mislead.
What the calculator reads
Every bulletin since December 2001 has been read cell by cell: 294 months, five family and six employment categories, the worldwide column and the columns for China, India, Mexico and the Philippines, and since October 2015 both charts. The October 2026 bulletin gives the current cutoffs; USCIS’s filing-charts page says which chart it accepts for Form I-485 this month. If you select a USCIS field office, the result adds the family green card range USCIS publishes for that office; otherwise it shows the national average from the monthly report to Congress.
How to read the result
The headline is either “Current”, a range of months, or “No reliable forecast”. Under it, the result lists both cutoffs, whether you can file the I-485 now, the past error of the method at your distance, the office time and the government fees for the path you chose. The step-by-step panel shows each number with its source. On a large screen, the chart puts the cutoff history since 2012 next to your date as a red line; when a forecast is shown, the shaded cone is the range.
When the answer is the 12-month pace
For some cases our main method failed the back-test while a simple rule passed: assume the cutoff keeps the pace of the last 12 months. In those cases the calculator shows that estimate with a band equal to its median past error and says so in the steps. This happens mostly in family categories for Mexico, where the date has moved steadily in recent years. The full back-test table lists which cases pass, case by case, and how often the range held: a median 49 % across all tested combinations.
What the calculator cannot know
It does not know if your I-140 or I-130 is approved, if you can use a spouse’s country of birth, whether a child is protected by the Child Status Protection Act, or whether a consulate has an appointment. Those questions have their own pages on this site, and none of them replaces advice from a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative on your own file.
