Question for those waiting....

[Me and her 279]

Hello all...  I just wanted to ask you all how long is the wait times for interview?  Which center filed?  Which is now the fastest center?  How long have you been waiting?

Your Service Center is irrelevant.

 

I485 timelines are based on your individual local field office wait time estimates.

You can look up and monitor yours for any changes to the estimated wait on the website. 

What website?

The same one you monitored for your I129F approval.

Hello, 

 

I am simply asking others for their experience.  Irrelevant as it may seem, I am still asking which center it was filed.  Thanks for your input!

You'll have to understand the process then. 

I485 is submitted to a LOCKBOX based on location of residency (by state).

K1 I485s are sent to the NBC for preprocessing and then to your LOCAL FIELD OFFICE (which is based on your zipcode) to wait for an interview. 

 

I485s are not filed at Service Centers. They are filed at Lockboxes.

K1 I485s are all preprocessed at the same SC (NBC).

K1 I485 timelines are based only on your local field office timelines not the lockbox you had to send it to because of the state you live in. 

 

Knowing the fastest local field office is irrelevant as:

1. Your case cannot be processed there unless you live in the zipcode that that LFO services. 

2. Timelines fluctuate CONSTANTLY meaning from month to month so while one month it may be a fast LFO, the next it may be the slowest due to for example, an influx of immigrants to that community. 

 

WHY are you asking so we can help understand how to answer your question further?

Service center has no bearing on the wait time. I-485 are rerouted to your local field office (LFO). That’s what will determine your wait time. You can find processing time for your LFO on USCIS.gov.

you can look up wait times for immigrant visas and AOS on following site and as said by others "the processing times change often"

If u r thinking to bring a family member now that u have been approved for citizenship ,  parents take about as long as a spouse and siblings take 10+ years so  the wait times vary per office and visa type and relationship to petitioner
