Visa Processing Times Steady, Adjustment of Status Processing Slowing Down

July 22nd, 2008

Over the past 18 months K1, K3 and IR1/CR1 Visas have taken roughly the same period for US Citizens to petition and for their beneficiary to receive. However once the visa holder arrives in the US the amount of time for processing their Adjustment of Status (AOS) has increased nearly two fold (100 to 200 days on average) since March 2007. If this trend continues application times will only get longer. This increase comes in spite of increased efforts by the USCIS to streamline their processing of Adjustment applications. On a good note, the processing times of Advance Parole and Employment Authorization Documents have remained in check. These documents allow AOS petitioners to work and travel outside the US while their Adjustment application is being processed.
