Frequently asked questions
Does Case Is Currently Processing mean approval is close?
Not necessarily. It only means the case is in the review queue and could still take weeks or months. Actively Reviewed is usually a stronger signal of an imminent decision.
What if I am past the official processing time?
File a Case Inquiry on the USCIS site (Outside Normal Processing Time) or call the USCIS Contact Center.
