USCIS reports that 80% of cases like yours finished within this range recently. It describes past cases, not a promise about yours. Note: Incomplete documents, errors, or a Request for Evidence (RFE) will delay your case beyond this timeframe.

If you are a U.S. citizen petitioning for a spouse, parent or unmarried child under 21, there is no visa queue and this processing time is the main wait. For other family categories there is an additional wait for a visa number based on your priority date and country. Check the current Visa Bulletin ↗
