The date you type is kept in this browser’s own storage and compared with the chart on your device. It is never sent to us. If you sign in and follow a queue, we keep the category and the country you chose — enough to tell you the next bulletin is out — and not your date.

The visit is counted by Google Analytics like every page on this site; what you enter is not part of that, because it never leaves your browser.

This page shows what the chart prints and whether one date is earlier than another. It does not forecast movement, and whether a particular person may file turns on things it cannot see — which chart USCIS names this month, an approved petition, and status.
