What your case status likely means

  • Inquiry eligible — filed on or before May 22, 2025 and still pending. Your case is outside USCIS's normal processing time. You can submit a service request (case inquiry), and we can help you decide whether a follow-up filing or litigation is warranted.
  • Past the typical range — filed after May 22, 2025 but more than 14 months ago. Past USCIS's typical range for this office, but not yet eligible for a service request. Here's what to watch — talk to us if you're concerned.
  • Approaching the top of the range — filed 8–14 months ago. Near the top of the typical range for this office. Not yet unusual, but worth monitoring.
  • Within the typical range — filed less than 8 months ago. Within USCIS's typical processing window for this office.
