USCIS announced yesterday that, in conjunction with the Department of State (DOS), it is revising the procedures for determining when an application for adjustment of status may be filed, in effect implementing part of President Obama’s November 2014 Executive Actions on immmigration. Starting with the Visa Bulletin for October 2015, there are two important dates listed on the monthly Visa Bulletin: the “filing date,” which determines when individuals can submit their permanent residence applications, and the “final action” date, which indicates when DOS or USCIS can make a decision on the applications.
