I’m applying for a family-based green card. Are processing times getting worse under the new policies?

Yes, processing times for family-based green cards have increased in 2025 due to stricter vetting and higher caseloads. For example, I-130 petitions by green card holders now average 35 months.

Processing times remain lengthy; due to procedural changes and USCIS backlogs, family-based green cards now often take 9–18 months, varying by category and service center.

Processing times have increased slightly in 2025 due to new vetting rules and backlogs.
