Important Disclaimer
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights and governs your use of our service.
We Are Not Lawyers
Visa Bulletin Check is operated by a small team in Lucknow, India. None of us are attorneys. None of us are licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction.
Our website, calculator, blog posts, and all other content are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, legal opinion, or any form of professional recommendation.
What This Means for You
Using our calculator or reading our blog does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are not your lawyers. We do not represent you before USCIS, the State Department, or any court.
If you need legal advice, consult a licensed immigration attorney. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) maintains a directory of qualified attorneys at aila.org.
Government Data Is Complex
The Visa Bulletin is a complex, technical document published by the US Department of State. Our calculator interprets this data, but interpretation involves judgment calls.
Specifically:
- We may not account for every exception or special rule
- Your case may have factors we cannot know (cross-chargeability, priority date transfers, etc.)
- Government policies change without warning
- The bulletin itself sometimes contains errors that are later corrected
We do our best, but we cannot guarantee perfection.
No Guarantee of Outcomes
We cannot and do not guarantee:
- That your priority date will become current by a specific date
- That you will be approved for any visa or green card
- That our historical trends will predict future movement
- That the information on our site is complete, accurate, or up-to-date at all times
Immigration outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control, including:
- Changes in US law or policy
- Your personal circumstances
- The discretion of individual USCIS officers or consular officials
- Global events that affect visa processing
You Are Responsible for Your Decisions
You are solely responsible for any action you take based on information from our website.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Filing or not filing immigration forms
- Timing of your applications
- Financial decisions related to your immigration process
- Travel decisions while your case is pending
We strongly encourage you to verify critical information with official sources before making decisions. Official sources include:
- travel.state.gov (Visa Bulletin)
- uscis.gov (USCIS forms and policies)
- egov.uscis.gov/processing-times (Processing times)
- Your attorney or accredited representative
