USCIS Processing Time Information

How We Process Cases

We generally process cases in the order we receive them. This page shows estimates of how long each office is taking to process different types of cases. We update this page every month (around the 15th of each month). Please note that these data may change without notice.

To check processing times for your case, you will need to know:

• Which office is handling your case
• The type of form you filed, and
• The date we received your case

You can find this information on the receipt notice we mailed you.
