WAT DOES THIS PRIORITY DATE MEANS IN THE FORM FOR SCHEDULING APPOINTMENT? I HOPE THAT IS NOT THE DATE OF INTERVIEW. PLEASE SOMEONE CLARIFY THIS FOR ME.

THANKS VJ MEMBERS.

If you are a U.S. citizen, a priority date really does not affect you although you receive on.

If you are not a U.S. citizen, the priority date is like your place in line. You have to wait until your date is available for a visa, usually before they give you an interview date. They usually hold all of the paper work until that date for your application is available.

Priority Date: The priority date determines a person's turn to apply for an immigrant visa. In family immigration the priority date is the date when the petition was filed at a DHS, office or submitted to an Embassy or Consulate abroad. In employment immigration the priority date may be the date the labor certification application was received by the Department of Labor (DOL).
