Immigration attorneysThank you for inquiring on the processing times for the I-526 petition. The processing times vary. Last year the processing times were getting expedited, 2-3 months. However, we have noticed a delay of 7 months since September. They fluctuate according to the economic resources of USCIS, how many adjudicators, overtime allowances, number of applications, etc. We are available if you need further information.
