New EAD processing times

[ZeeZeeZee 11]

Y'all, USCIS updated their EAD processing time tracker and it's gone down(!!!) for AOS: 2.5 to 5 months for applications "based on a pending I-485 adjustment application [(c)(9)]" at the NBC. Receipt date for case enquiry as of today is March 3rd 2019. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 

 

Ofc, they'll take up to a month to process the case enquiry... just submitted mine and it says they'll get back to me by August 22nd. And it's really bad news for everyone who isn't AOS: it's now at 10 - 12.5 months, which is absolute madness.

I very much hope that this new revised wait time is accurate.

Good news for those waiting on their I-485 to be adjudicated!

Thanks for posting this! My renewal has been pending since January so just submitted an enquiry.

USCIS is now reportedly processing cases using LIFO( Last In First Out) format. New cases are getting priority over older cases.

Ugh, I suppose that's an effective if deeply unfair way to pull the average time down. Where did you hear that?

Interesting, I only just submitted my AOS last month with a priority date of July 10th. Fingers crossed this can be a quick turnaround rather than the estimated 8month time line that was on there previously.
