What is visa bulletin?

[Bunny Gurl 9]

The email with the appointment date I received says something which I don"t understand:

Before traveling to your consular appointment, please check the Department of State Visa Bulletin to confirm that your priority date is still current. If it is not, you will need to reschedule your appointment when the priority date becomes current to continue your case processing. This does not apply for K visas (Fiancé(e)/Spouse/Child), Boarding Foils and Returning Residents (SB1).

When I click on that link, that's what it shows (see attached image)

Does anyone know, what that means?

If you are filing for IR5 like your profile shows you do not have to worry about that note.  What visa are you looking for?

You dont have to worry about visa bulletin. You are good to go! I just saw your mom has an apt soon. Congrats! Once she gets the  approval during her apt, she can pick up her passport (takes 1-5 days) and then she can fly to the US asap  good luck!

That is an IR5 (IR stands for immediate relative), and that visa class is not numerically limited, so the visa bulletin does not apply.

 

Good Luck!
