Beginning June 9, 2015, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began publishing processing times for certain benefits processed at its international offices and International Operations Division headquarters. Currently, processing times for Forms I-130, I-131, and I-730 are available online. According to USCIS, if the field office completed less than 10 cases of one of these form types during the reported period, the average processing time will not be displayed.

The processing timeframes displayed show the average length of time it took to complete cases during the period noted on each chart. The information on this page will be updated around the 15th day of each quarter (January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15) to reflect current processing times as of the previous six-month period. The processing time of any individual case may vary because of the complexity of the case or the need for the applicant to provide additional information.

With only a 30-day comment period and potential annual costs reaching up to $16.5 billion across nearly 2,500 affected institutions, the proposed regulation is expected to face significant legal challenges if finalized.
