U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published updated processing time estimates across major petition types. Applicants filing I-485 Adjustment of Status petitions at certain field offices may see timelines stretched to 18 months or longer, while others report meaningful improvements.

I-130 family-based petitions and I-140 employment-based petitions have also seen adjustments. Our office recommends checking your case status regularly and contacting an attorney if your case has exceeded published processing times.
