What These Sources Actually Tell You
Visa Bulletin
The Visa Bulletin helps explain when immigrant visas may be available by category and country. It is useful for understanding movement, but it is not a personal appointment schedule.
DOL Processing Times
DOL processing-time pages help show where labor certification work is moving. They are useful for setting expectations, but individual cases can still move differently.
USCIS and NVC
USCIS and NVC sources become especially important after filings, approvals, document review, and immigrant visa processing steps begin.
