Decode your status message →Processing figures are source-labelled official medians or third-party aggregate range midpoints. Community Pulse observations are shown separately. Always check current official times at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times. GreenLight is not affiliated with USCIS, DHS, or any US government agency. Nothing here is legal advice.
Third-party aggregate range rows come from ImmigrationTimes.org; the I-130 immediate-relative row is an official USCIS FY2026 national median. Last data refresh: October 7, 2026. Every row carries its metric and provenance.
