Current Time Frame once USCIS Receipt Number Received

[Texstar 0]

Greetings, I recently received my USCIS receipt number.  Any ideas on how long until I hear from the USCIS on next steps?  Also any idea how long the entire approval process may take?   Thanks for any current info anyone might have.

For USCIS stage, 15.5 months until petition approval.

I saw that but didn’t know if this was a safe projection.   Was hoping the current times experienced may be closer to 11 to 12 months

As of now that is the everage(15.5mos) ranges from 14-18mos.

 

Though Agencies have  increased their staffing, there is no significant effect to shorten the timeline sooner…but, good enough to know that timeline will not be lengthen more than what is current compared last year 10 -15.5mos.

Some data miners had predicted that imminently in the coming months, there might be decrease in timeline, but 11-12mos is kinda ambitious.

Yes, at this time it appears that *most* petitions are being approved at around 14 months.  Meaning, 80% or so.  The rest are usually after that...
