Notes:

  • USCIS Service Centers prioritize the adjudication of Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and preference petitions when the Department of State Visa Bulletin shows an immigrant visa is available or will soon become available.

  • This provides the greatest processing efficiencies because it is only when an immigrant visa is available that the beneficiary can adjust status or consular process based on an approved petition.

  • Generally, USCIS processes visa-available cases in the order received, regardless of where the petition is adjudicated.

  • USCIS may also prioritize cases filed for multiple family members at the same time to ensure families are processed together.

  • USCIS may also prioritize cases due to country conditions when an urgent humanitarian situation or U.S. national interest is identified by the executive directive.

  • In addition, petitioners may request expedited processing of their Form I-130 in certain situations.

  • To minimize confusion related to the adjudication of I-130 preference category petitions, USCIS does not post a processing time in most instances.

  • If the Visa Bulletin indicates that the preference category is current for a particular country, USCIS posts one processing time for all service centers that process those petitions.

  • USCIS generally does not post-processing times until 6 months after the visa category becomes current to ensure an accurate processing time estimate.

  • If the preference category is not current for a particular country, USCIS does not list a processing time for that category. Instead, you should refer to the dates listed in the Visa Bulletin.
