History, predictions & alerts
How do I get an alert when the Visa Bulletin changes for my category?
Updated · Not legal advice
Tell us your category, chargeability country and (optionally) your priority date. We read each new official bulletin and the USCIS chart page, and email you when your cell changes: a forward move, a retrogression, C or U, or the day your priority date becomes current. Free checks daily; Pro checks every 4 hours and adds SMS and push.
| Change | Example | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final Action Date moves | Cutoff moves forward 3 months | Email + SMS + push | |
| Date for Filing moves | Filing date jumps | Email + SMS + push | |
| Your priority date becomes current | Cutoff passes your date | Email + SMS + push | |
| Retrogression or U | Date moves back or becomes unavailable | Email + SMS + push | |
| USCIS chart choice | USCIS switches to Final Action for filing | Email + SMS + push | |
| Movement history and range | - | - | Included |
Why not just subscribe to the official bulletin?
Official subscription options tell you a bulletin exists; you still have to find your row and column, compare dates and check USCIS's chart. Our alert does that comparison and tells you what changed for you, with the official link to confirm.
Quick answers

- Yes: one category, checked once a day, by email.
- What does Pro add?
- Checks every 4 hours, SMS and push alerts, and movement history for your category ($5/month).
- Do you need my receipt number?
- No. For Visa Bulletin alerts, category and country are enough; a priority date lets us tell you when you are current.
