Processing time for the I-829 petition currently indicated on the USCIS website is from 24.5 to 47.5 months. Please note that you must submit your I-829 petition within the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of your green card.

Typically, it takes about 12-15 months. However, with the state of things in which everything seems to be in a state of flux, it may take a little longer.

You have a green card. It''s conditional, but you have one. If you have already completed the two years and haven''t filed the I-829, you''re late. Those need to be filed up to 90 days before the 2 year anniversary. It takes 24 to 47 months for processing, but you can keep getting stamps from USCIS to show you are lawfully present as a permanent resident, pending approval of the I-829.

I-829 petition processing currently takes about 24 to 47 months, with about 50% of the petitions being adjudicated in 24 months. Your conditional lawful permanent resident status is automatically extended for 18 months upon filing the I-829, with annual extensions available until there is a final decision on your I-829.

They have been taking up to 2-3 years. The USCIS web site says 24 to 47 months. But USCIS just announced they are laying off 13,500 employees in the beginning of August. Because they ran out of money to pay them. Over 99% of USCIS funding comes from filing fees. And since they cancelled so many kinds of immigration cases, their filings are dropping, and so is their income.
