Processing time context

Cases like yours (I-129) typically take about 2.2–5.3 months based on recent USCIS historic national median processing times.

These figures come from USCIS historic national medians (min–max of recent fiscal years for the form’s main classification), not a prediction for your case. They are not comparable to the live Case Processing Times tool.
