Processing time retrogressed by a whole year???

[pablo2752 106]

I filed my AOS this June (PD 08-07-2015), and I noticed that the processing time of my field office (morrisville nc) has retrogressed by a whole year...last time I checked they were processing applications from June 2019, but now it says they are processing AOS from August 2018. what could the reason be?

I did Adjustment of Status under Family 1st preference category. The processing times listed are bogus, do not pay attention to them. Just take them with grain of salt. I filed in October 2019 and got approved in September 2020 so it took 11 months for me. I live in region with one of the fastest USCIS field offices in the country (as rated by survey) so it was fast for me. If it wasn't for COVID-19 pandemic, I believe my I-485 would have been approved even faster. Due to USCIS offices closed from March - July, my case was on hold. However, as soon as offices started doing green card interviews, I got an interview. The point I am making is do not pay attention to processing times listed but you can read here on forums generally on how fast your field office is. That would be a better indicator. 

 

Is Morrisville the one near Charlotte? From what I have read about Charlotte, I think it is average in terms of wait and delays so I think you should expect 12-15 months from date you filed. 

 

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions about I485 process or if you need interview tips, I would be happy to help.

I am F2B category - so maybe it is different from yours. Congratulation on your approval!

It is for US Citizenship applications but at least it gives you an idea which USCIS field offices are more efficient and faster than others.

 

F1 and F2B are similar - both have limited number of green cards available - sure dates are different and petitioner's status is different (US citizen vs. green card holder) but I really think it makes no difference when comparing the two categories for AOS purposes. In both cases you are getting a green card through a parent.
