Hi folks,

I'm a little confused regarding the dates posted on the Visa Bulletin vs the USCIS Processing Time.

For instance, my aunt who is a LPR asked for his unmarried son who is 27 back in 2013 using a I-130 form, my cousin is in Peru.

On the February 2016 Visa Bulletin, his category F2B, I think USCIS is processing applications with priority date of May 15, 2009.

However, on USCIS Processing Times in the Vermont Service Center, he falls under I-130 "Permanent resident filling for an unmarried son or daughter over 21" with a processing time of September 3, 2012.

What is the difference between these 2 dates?

Your support is appreciated.

Thanks,

...Alex

Visa Bulletin = total time to wait for petitioning and a visa to be available. (Wait for entire process)

USCIS processing = approval of the I-130 only. Must wait for Visa Bulletin for an available visa. (Only part of the process)
