USCIS Processing Times Improve for Form I-130
February 25th, 2009by VJ News
Over the last three months the USCIS has seen an impressive reduction in the amount of time needed to process I-130 Petitions for a US Citizen’s Spouse. Since the end of 2008 the processing times for this form have gone down nearly three months at both the California and Vermont Service Centers. As of today, the CSC and VSC are taking 99 and 172 days respectively to process an I-130.
This comes as good news to those applicants looking to get an IR-1/CR-1 Visa (instead of a K-3 Visa which is traditionally faster). The benefit of an IR-1/CR-1 Visa is that upon entering the US the holder of the visa immediately becomes a Legal Permanent Resident.
