Certain non-immigrant visa applications and employment-based green card petitions require multiple steps before filing the application package to the USCIS. Additionally, processing time of the USCIS varies depending on the visa type you are pursuing and national immigration policies effective at the time. We will advise you on a general estimate processing time once we consult on your case. After filing the application, we will provide more accurate estimate of processing time.
