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.

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.

Is F2A China (mainland-born) current in the Sep 2026 Visa Bulletin?
Only if the priority date is strictly earlier than Aug 22, 2026, the published Final Action cutoff for F2A China (mainland-born) this month.
Does passing the Dates for Filing comparison mean Form I-485 can be filed?
