Question

[Shae]

When i check the processing times for NYC, i'm given 2 categories. Which one do i use? I am a USC filing for my Husband. Will that be considered "Family Based" even though he is in the "Immediate Relative" category? I know i have a long wait either way, just curious

Estimated time range Form type Receipt date for a case inquiry
12 Months to 23.5 Months Employment-based adjustment applications July 22, 2016

14.5 Months to 24.5 Months Family-based adjustment applications June 27, 2016

Here's a good chart for you. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...rms_FY18Q1.pdf

It gives you a breakdown of each category. When you have these many data points, you may assume that the ratio/percentage of each subcategoru will be similar at each field office, *Though, not all are adjudicated at field offices. In other words,

Total family based = 356,080

I-130 Immediate and Preference Relatives 199,214 ----56.0%
