How to Use the Green Card Calculator
- Select your category – Choose your visa type (e.g., EB-2, FB-3) from the dropdown.
- Choose your country – Pick your country of chargeability (e.g., India, All Countries).
- Enter your priority date – Use the date picker to input the date your petition was filed.
- Set the current date – Adjust the date to today’s date (default is 2025-01-01).
- Click “Calculate Wait Time” – The tool estimates your remaining wait in years and months.
What the result means: The output shows the estimated time until a visa becomes available, based on simplified historical trends. It assumes linear progression of priority dates. The “base wait” varies by category and country due to annual caps and demand.
Note: This is a simplified estimate only. Actual wait times may differ. Ensure dates are in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., 2024-01-01).

Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator provides a simplified estimate based on historical trends and current Visa Bulletin data. Actual wait times may vary due to changes in demand, annual caps, and processing times.
We support EB-1 through EB-5, and family-based categories FB-1 through FB-4. Each category has different wait times depending on country of chargeability.
The calculator uses a base wait time in months for each category and country combination. It then estimates the date when a visa might become available and calculates the remaining time from the current date.
