This page tracks F2B (unmarried sons and daughters of green card holders, 21 or older) for applicants born in Philippines in every Visa Bulletin since October 2015. Movement is measured between published cutoff dates; it is not a forecast. USCIS counted 17,609 approved F2B petitions for people born in Philippines still waiting for a visa as of June 2026. USCIS counts only approved petitions whose priority date was not yet current that month, and only principal applicants, so the number falls whenever the cutoff moves.
