Tips for Using This Tool

1Processing times vary significantly by service center. If you have a choice, compare times to find the fastest option.
2Premium processing is available for I-140 ($2,805) and I-129/H-1B ($2,805) — this guarantees a response within 15 business days.
3The 80% completion range means 20% of cases take longer. If your case involves an RFE, add 2–4 months to the estimate.
4Processing times can change month to month. Check back regularly if you're waiting for a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Published times show when 80% of cases are completed. Complex cases, cases requiring additional evidence (RFE), or cases needing supervisory review may take longer. You can submit a case inquiry to USCIS if outside normal times.

Data Source & Methodology

Processing times from USCIS published data at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times. USCIS calculates these times based on completed cases. The time range represents the window within which 80% of cases are processed.

⚠️

Processing times are estimates based on past cases and may not predict your specific case timeline. Times don't account for RFEs, which can add months. Premium processing times are guaranteed but regular processing is not. USCIS may change processing priorities without notice.
