The priority date is the date that establishes an immigrant's place in the green card queue. For employment-based cases, it is typically the date the PERM labor certification was filed. For EB-1 and EB-2 NIW (no PERM required), it is the date the I-140 petition was filed. For family-based cases, it is the date the I-130 petition was filed. When the priority date becomes 'current' on the monthly Visa Bulletin, the applicant can proceed with adjustment of status or consular processing.
