How to Check USCIS Processing Times?
Congratulations –– you’ve submitted your petition to USCIS! And now you must wait for it to process. This can feel like it takes forever, especially since processing times for all types of applications have increased significantly in recent years.
The good news is you can check normal processing times for all USCIS petitions online, which can give you an idea of how long you’ll be waiting and indicate whether or not there is an issue with your case.
