USCIS Processing Times: Is Your Case on Track?

USCIS publishes the time it took to finish 80% of recent cases, office by office. This tracker turns that into a plain answer: the typical window for your form, where your receipt date sits inside it, and what to do when a case is overdue: service requests, congressional inquiries, the Ombudsman, and mandamus lawsuits.

Case stuck for months?

When a case sits outside normal processing times, there are real levers: service requests, Ombudsman inquiries, congressional liaisons, and mandamus lawsuits. We know when to pull each one.

Questions about USCIS processing time tracker

How long does USCIS take to process my case?

It depends on the form and the office. Family petitions (I-130) and green card applications (I-485) commonly take about a year, work permits a few months, naturalization under a year at many offices, and affirmative asylum years. The tracker shows the typical range for each form and the official page shows the figure for your specific office.

What can I do if my case is outside normal processing times?

Submit an e-Request through your USCIS account, ask your congressional representative's office to open a liaison inquiry, contact the CIS Ombudsman, and, for long delays, file a writ of mandamus in federal court to compel a decision. We handle mandamus cases nationwide.

Does an RFE reset the clock?

No, but it adds time: a Request for Evidence commonly adds four to eight months. A complete, well-organized initial filing is the best way to avoid one.

Can a lawyer speed up my USCIS case?

A lawyer cannot skip the line, but can file an expedite request where criteria are met, fix a filing that is stuck on a solvable problem, and file mandamus when the delay is unreasonable. In many districts mandamus filings are resolved within 60 to 90 days.
