In the month of October 2023, the final action date chart of the visa bulletin shows that the availability date under which individuals can obtain their permanent residence is backlogged to February 8, 2019. Please note that dates in this category can change radically, but assuming that the situation remains stable, a person with a priority date in April 2021 can expect to wait approximately two years for final immigration. I note that the US is currently beginning a program to allow nationals of certain countries – El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Cuba and Haiti – who have approved I-130 petitions but are caught in the backlog to apply for parole, which is given, will allow the individual to remain in the US for a period of up to three years with work eligibility.
