newblack,

You should not pay attention to the priority date since it's meaningless for the immediate relatives (Spouse, Unmarried children under age of 21 and parents) of U.S. Citizen. The immediate relatives (IR) do not have to wait in line for a visa number to become available for them to immigrate because there are an unlimited number of visas for their particular categories.

Your priority date is a date when the USCIS receives the petition (I-130) submitted on behalf of your relative(s). There is two groups of family based immigrant visa categories:

1. Immediate Relative (IR) Immigrant Visas: (Priority date is meaningless since there is unlimited visas)

  • IR-1: Spouse of a U.S. Citizen
  • IR-2: Unmarried Child Under 21 Years of Age of a U.S. Citizen
  • IR-3: Orphan adopted abroad by a U.S. Citizen
  • IR-4: Orphan to be adopted in the U.S. by a U.S. citizen
  • IR-5: Parent of a U.S. Citizen who is at least 21 years old

2 . Family Preference Immigrant Visas: (Priority date is very IMPORTANT here since the visas are limited. The visas are given based upon the receipt date (priority date) of the petition by the USCIS)

  • F1 - Unmarried sons & daughters of U.S. Citizens, and their minor children
  • F2 - Spouses, minor children of LPR
  • F3 - etc.....

I hope this info makes sense!
