family-based immigration processing time 2024

Pull your own case's priority date and compare it against the current Visa Bulletin before assuming a filing date; a category or country change (marriage to an LPR versus a citizen, for instance) can shift a wait by a decade. If you've received an RFE with a response deadline already ticking, or you're deciding whether to file I-130 and I-485 together, bring your notice or petition paperwork to a consultation so we can check it against the specific evidence USCIS is asking for.
