Visa Bulletin for F2A All Other Countries

The F2A All Other Countries Final Action Date is September 22, 2026. Applicants with a priority date earlier than that can be approved for a visa or green card.

The F2A All Other Countries Dates for Filing is Current. Every applicant can submit documents to the National Visa Center once it invites them, and can file Form I-485 if USCIS accepts this chart for the month.

Compared with the September 2026 bulletin, the Final Action Date advanced 31 days and Dates for Filing did not change.

The F2A All Other Countries Final Action Date, September 22, 2026, is 9 days behind the October 2026 bulletin month. It advanced 2.6 years over the past 12 months, about 3 months per bulletin. Past movement does not predict future movement.

No. The Final Action Date has not retrogressed in the past 12 months. Retrogression happens when demand exceeds the visas left in the fiscal year.

It depends on how you apply. The National Visa Center uses Dates for Filing to invite consular processing applicants to submit documents, and a visa is issued only once the Final Action Date passes your priority date. For adjustment of status inside the U.S., USCIS announces each month which chart it accepts for Form I-485 on its Adjustment of Status Filing Charts page.

All Other Countries covers applicants chargeable to any country except China, India, Mexico and the Philippines. The Visa Bulletin prints it as All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed, often called Rest of World or ROW. Chargeability normally follows country of birth, not citizenship.
