Compare your priority date
A dated cutoff requires a priority date strictly before it. Equal dates do not pass. C means current on that chart, and U means unavailable. The filing chart and final-action chart answer different questions.
A filing-chart comparison does not establish permission to file Form I-485. USCIS chart selection is not verified in this snapshot. Agency notices and your circumstances may affect eligibility.

What this history can tell you
Only the months in the reviewed dataset appear here. A missing month is not an unchanged cutoff. Dates may advance, remain unchanged, retrogress, or become unavailable. The distance between a priority date and a cutoff is not a forecast of calendar waiting time.
Common questions
Is EB-3 Philippines current in the Sep 2026 Visa Bulletin?
Only if the priority date is strictly earlier than Aug 1, 2023, the published Final Action cutoff for EB-3 Philippines this month.
Does passing the Dates for Filing comparison mean Form I-485 can be filed?
No. USCIS separately announces which chart, Final Action or Dates for Filing, may be used for adjustment-of-status filing each month. That announcement is not verified in this snapshot, so this page does not state that a filing is permitted.
