USCIS Processing Times

USCIS processing times can vary greatly depending on several factors, including:

  • Application/petition type: Different forms have different processing timeframes.

  • Immigration category: Each category (e.g., family-based, employment-based) has unique processing timelines.

  • Other factors: Workload, policy changes, and external circumstances can all impact processing times.

While USCIS provides general estimates on its website, these are subject to change. Here's a summary of common processing times.

Form and Estimated Processing Time:

  • I-130 (Family-Based Petitions): Several months to over a year (varies based on relationship and petitioner's status)

  • I-485 (Adjustment of Status): Several months to over a year (with additional time for checks and biometrics)

  • I-129F (Fiancé Visa Petition): Several months (followed by consular processing and visa issuance)

  • N-400 (Naturalization Application): Several months to over a year (delays possible due to checks and interview scheduling)

  • I-751 (Remove Conditions on Residence): Several months to over a year (must be filed within 90 days before green card expires)
