PD=priority date
If you are not an immediate relative of a US citizen immigrating through family relationship than you have to wait until your PD becomes current.
If your immigration is family based and your sponsor is not a US citizen to whom you have immediate relationship (spouse, child, parent) than your priority date is the date when the I-130 petition is filed.
If your immigration is employment based then your PD is the date when the labor certification is filed by your employer/sponsor.
Due to annual limitation of the number of people who can immigrate to the US in these categories there is a waiting queue your application is placed to.
Your visa can only be granted when your PD becomes current (you went through the queue).
In some categories the waiting period is over 10 years.
You need to know which category your petition is and you can find out if your PD is current:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
A new bulletin published monthly. Sometime in first half of December there will be one published for January.
If you are from China, India, Mexico or the Filippines you have to select the appropriate column. First column is for the rest of the World. C=current If there is a date in that cell then your PD has to be older than that date.
