Priority Date and Qualifying Date (NVC)?

[DelmondoLove 0]

We are waiting for NVC to receive our petition (K1 visa) and while making some researches we came across the priority date and we can't really understand what is it and how we can know ours if we have any. Same for Qualifying Date? What do they mean?

Here is where my fiancée found them:

How Do I Know if My Priority Date Meets the Most Recent Qualifying Date? And What Does That Mean?

If your Priority Date is earlier than the Qualifying Date for your visa class and your foreign state chargeability, your Priority Date meets the most recent Qualifying Date and your petition is ready to begin processing at the NVC. Learn more by reviewing the Visa Bulletin.

How Do I Know What My Priority Date Is?

The USCIS assigned your immigrant visa petition a Priority Date when you filed it with USCIS. If you are unsure of your Priority Date, you should refer to the Approval Notice that you received from the USCIS.

Thanks in Advance

Priority Date isn't used with the K-1 visa. It may be asked for on a form or website but it doesn't affect anything.

As for what is your Priority Date? Is the RECEIVED DATE on your NOA1.
