Access the Visa Bulletin online, by email, by telephone, by fax, or by mail.
Online: http://travel.state.gov/visa_bulletin.html
Email: VISABULLET@SA1WPOA.US-STATE.GOV (you may contact the Bulletin by email, but it is not distributed by email)
Telephone: (202) 663-1541, for a 24-hour recording that gives the monthly priority dates that are currently being processed. The recording is updated in the middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following month.
Fax: From your fax, dial (202) 647-3000. Follow the prompts and enter code 1038 to have the Visa Bulletin faxed to you.
Mail: To be placed on the Visa Bulletin mailing list (or to change an address), write to:
Visa Bulletin
Visa Office
Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20522-0106
​
​Only addresses within the U.S. postal system may be placed on the mailing list. When reporting changes or corrections of address, include a recent mailing label. The Postal Service does NOT automatically notify the Visa Office of address changes. (Obtaining the Visa Bulletin by mail is a much slower option than any of the alternatives mentioned above.)
