Because the number of immigrants the United States receives each year is limited, but the number of immigrant applicants often exceeds the legal quota, and applicants have to wait in line, so there is an American immigration timetable. American immigration scheduling includes professional immigration scheduling and reunion immigration scheduling, which is set by the State Council according to the immigration quota stipulated by American law.

The timing of American immigration can be divided into two categories:

One is the green card approval timetable: it refers to the visa approval timetable, which is the final decision date, which can be called table A. The other is the application submission timetable: it refers to the timetable when I-485 documents can be submitted, which can be called table B. On the immigration timetable in the United States, c means that there is no need to schedule, and applicants who meet this condition in the United States can submit their applications. U means there is no schedule information, which usually means that the visa type is in the process of discussing the bill, and the application result depends on the final result of the bill.
