What is a priority date?
The priority date, in the case of a relative immigrant visa petition, is the date the petition was filed. In the case of an employer-sponsored petition, the priority date is the date the labor certification was filed with the Department of Labor. The Visa Bulletin — under the Visa Services homepage — gives the changes in availability of priority dates.
