Service Center Reports - These reports are provided by the individual USCIS Service Centers and give approximate processing times for petitions and applications filed with the Service Centers. The dates given are the filing dates for those cases currently being reviewed by the USCIS Officers. It generally takes up to another 30 days for the USCIS to issue an approval or a Request for Further Evidence. We emphasize that these processing times are approximate. USCIS agency estimations of processing times are inaccurate due to constantly shifting processing priorities. More often than not, processing times are actually longer than indicated by the Service bulletins.They are updated periodically — usually approximately once a month.
