A visa bulletin is only valid for one month and a new one is issued on the first of each month. The cutoff date in the visa bulletin may, and often do, change from month to month. Cutoff dates can even move backwards occasionally. Thus, it is important to move forward with consular processing or filing for adjustment as soon as possible when your priority date is current. If a new month’s Visa Bulletin shows that a priority date is no longer current in the middle of an application, the Consulate cannot approve a green card, the immigrant cannot file Form I-485, and USCIS cannot approve a filed application.
