From the U.S. Department of State's monthly Visa Bulletin. “Current” means every priority date qualifies; “Unavailable” (U) means no visas that month.
Special immigrants, for example religious workers, Special Immigrant Juveniles and certain employees of the U.S. government abroad.
Petition: Usually Form I-360. Non-minister religious workers have their own row (“Certain Religious Workers”), which can show “U” when that program isn't extended by Congress.
“Rest of world” is the bulletin's “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” column: anyone charged to a country without its own column. Chargeability normally follows your country of birth, not your citizenship. In some cases you can use a spouse's or parent's country of birth instead (cross-chargeability); ask your attorney whether that applies to you.
Employment cases usually start with an I-140; follow yours with the I-140 tracker, and once you file Form I-485, the green card tracker shows where it stands. You can also check any USCIS case status by receipt number. This page is information, not legal advice; confirm your next step with an immigration attorney.

USCIS decides each month whether I-485 applicants in the U.S. use Final Action Dates or Dates for Filing, and announces it on its Adjustment of Status Filing Charts page. Applicants abroad work with the National Visa Center, which uses Dates for Filing to invite documents.
