Processing Times
Two different clocks. USCIS publishes its times in an official lookup tool (form × category × office) — we explain how to read it for each form. The Department of Labor publishes monthly snapshots — we show the latest ones below, with the date they were posted.

General information only — not legal advice. DOL figures are snapshots from flag.dol.gov; USCIS figures live in the official tool at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times. If our snapshot and the official page differ, the official page is right.
