How to read this: USCIS reports the time within which 80% of cases complete. Your case may take more or less. For a specific case, use your receipt number at egov.uscis.gov/casestatus.
Frequently asked questions
What does a USCIS processing time actually mean?
USCIS publishes the time within which 80% of recently completed cases at a given office finished — it is a benchmark, not a promise. Your case can take less time or more, depending on the office’s workload, whether a Request for Evidence (RFE) is issued, background checks, and biometrics scheduling.
Why is my case taking longer than the time shown here?
Posted times are estimates that lag real conditions. If your case is past the posted time you may be able to submit a case inquiry (an ‘outside normal processing time’ request) through your USCIS online account. Check your specific case first with your receipt number at egov.uscis.gov/casestatus.
How current is this data?
USCIS refreshes its published processing times roughly once a month. This table reflects data captured on the date shown above. For the live figure on the day you file, always confirm on the official USCIS processing-times page.
What's the difference between a service center and a field office?
Service centers (and the National Benefits Center) process most paper-filed applications by mail and are not open to the public. Field offices handle interviews and some application types in person — so the same form can show different processing times depending on which office handles it.
Is the I-589 asylum application included?
No. USCIS publishes affirmative asylum scheduling separately from this dataset, so Form I-589 is not in this table. See our asylum and immigration-court pages for that timeline.
