There are about 90 USCIS local field offices in the continental United States. It is where the interview for family Green Card applicants going through adjustment of status takes place.
USCIS looks at the adjudicated cases during the last period, and how much time it took from when the agency received the I-485 until a decision was made.
- The ‘80%‘ corresponds to the latest measure of processing times published by USCIS (a decision was made on 80% of family I-485s during the stated number of months);
- Then, Immigration Planner is providing estimates on the ‘low‘ (‘50%’) and ‘high‘ (‘93%’) based on past data, but these numbers are not official numbers from USCIS.
The following table is an Immigration Planner analysis of USCIS data aimed at estimating the minimum amount of time it is going to take family applicants to have their interview scheduled by their USCIS local field office once their application has been pre-processed by the National Benefits Center (NBC):
