In this post attorney Jacob J. Sapochnick discusses the new changes to the October visa bulletin and how these changes can affect your family based or employment based petition.
The October 2015 Visa Bulletin from the U.S. Department of State shows a newly revised system of dual cutoff dates.
As of October, the visa bulletin contains a new, separate cutoff date chart for filing the application for adjustment (form I-485). The cutoff dates in the filing chart are much later than the final action cutoff date chart.
For example, the employment-based, second preference (EB2) for China’s cutoff date for filing in October is May 1, 2014, while the cutoff date for final action is January 1, 2012.
This is a HUGE change, effective as of October 1, 2015, and applies to both the employment-based and family-based categories.

The answer to this question is very important.
If one is still married with the US citizen, one can apply for a citizenship after three years. However, if one is divorced to the US citizen, one can only apply after five years since the date of one’s green card.
But any other form – except being married to a US citizen – i.e. green card through employment, you must wait five years
