Understanding USCIS Case Processing Times

info4716039

When applying for immigration benefits in the United States, understanding how USCIS processing times work is crucial. At De Maio Law, we specialize in immigration law, offering years of experience and a proven track record assisting clients with their applications. However, it’s important to recognize that every case is subject to USCIS processing times, and specific factors influence how quickly your application may be resolved.

Key Factors Influencing Processing Times

  1. Form Type: The specific immigration benefit or petition you are applying for.

  2. Form Category: For example, whether the petitioner is a U.S. Citizen (USC) or a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR).

  3. Field Office or Service Center: The location where your application is being processed.



For petitions like the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative, additional factors apply. These include whether the beneficiary is a child over 21, married or unmarried, or whether the petitioner is a USC or LPR. These distinctions significantly impact processing times and when you can expect USCIS to respond.

External Factors Affecting Processing

USCIS processing times can also vary based on:

  • The volume of applications received.

  • The complexity of individual cases.

  • Potential errors in submitted forms.

It is essential to understand that while your application is within USCIS processing times, no action can be taken by anyone, including attorneys. However, if your case exceeds the stated processing times or contains an error, our team can assist you in resolving the issue.

How to Check Processing Times

To determine the processing times for your case:

  1. Visit the official USCIS Processing Times page.

  2. Select your Form Type and Form Category.

  3. Identify the Field Office or Service Center listed on your receipt notice.

  4. The system will display the estimated processing times for your application.

If you’re uncertain about this process, De Maio Law is here to help.

How can we check time taken by national benefits center for I-485? I don't see NBC as a selection option on the USCIS website.
