All numbers on this site come from one open table: 30,088 rows covering 299 monthly Visa Bulletins, December 2001 to October 2026.

• visa_bulletin_long.csv: one row per bulletin, chart (FAD = Final Action / cut-off date, DFF = Date for Filing), type (EB/FB), category, country, value type (date, C, U), ISO date and the raw text.
• visa_bulletin.json: the same data as series arrays aligned to a month list.
• validation_checks.json: spot-checks against hand-read official values (39/39 match) and structural checks.

Notes

• Source: U.S. Department of State, Visa Bulletin. Official bulletins are U.S. Government works; this compilation is provided as-is with no warranty. Please cite the State Department and this site.
• Before the October 2015 bulletin there is only one chart (the cut-off date, treated as the Final Action Date). Bulletins before October 2003 list fewer countries.
• C and U are kept as published. Empty means the bulletin did not list that category or country.
• Category codes: EB1, EB2, EB3, EW (EB-3 other workers), EB4, SR (religious workers), EB5U/EB5R/EB5H/EB5I (post-2022 EB-5 groups), EB5/EB5T/EB5N/EB5RC/EB5P (older EB-5 rows), F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4.
