Each step and where the number comes from

The main date is the middle estimate; the range in brackets uses the fastest and slowest recent speed.

  1. 1
    1 · PERMApril 2026 (February 2026 – June 2026) probably done

    DOL has already passed your filing month, so the decision most likely came about 303 days (the current DOL average) after filing.

  2. 2
    2 · I-140April 2027 (October 2026 – June 2027)

    About 1 month to prepare and file, then the USCIS median I-140 processing time: 11.2 months (FY2025 Q3); range 7.5–11.2 months over the last four quarters. Premium processing can shorten this step.

  3. 3
    3 · Visa BulletinNovember 2027 (November 2026 – March 2029)

    Your priority date is the PERM filing date. In the November 2026 bulletin the Bangladesh cutoff is June 15, 2024, i.e. people wait about 2.4 years after filing. We assume a similar wait; over the last years it was between 1.4 and 3.8 years, which gives the range.

  4. 4
    4 · NVC & interviewJanuary 2028 (January 2027 – May 2029)

    When your date is current and the I-140 is approved, NVC reviews your documents. As of October 26, 2026 NVC was reviewing documents submitted on August 18, 2026.

  5. 5
    5 · Interview & visa

    After NVC, the embassy schedules the interview (Dhaka, or the embassy assigned to your case). Embassies do not publish this waiting time, so it is not added to the estimate. The Dhaka process takes two days with two visits.

This is an estimate from public data, not a promise. Audits, RFIs, retrogression of the Visa Bulletin, embassy schedules and policy changes (like the 2026 visa pause) can change every date.
