Austin immigration firm Lincoln-Goldfinch Law shares recent updates to the adoption-based Form I-130 petition and its processing times.

Award-winning Austin immigration law firm Lincoln-Goldfinch Law recently shared infographics explaining the changes affecting Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. The updates will be implemented in June 2023 and are the next major step toward transparency and accountability.

With these changes, the processing times for Form I-130 petitions will be publicly available. The time it takes to process will also depend on various circumstances.

For instance, a U.S. citizen filing for a child under 21 will take 50 months to process. A permanent resident who is petitioning for the same will take 60 months. While a citizen filing for a married son or daughter over 21 must wait 43 months, and those filing for a brother or sister will wait 42. Lastly, a U.S. citizen petitioning for an unmarried son or daughter over 21 will have to wait 69 months.

Lincoln-Goldfinch Law emphasizes that processing times may become longer with the number of petitions. Petitioners can help by ensuring that they meet the eligibility requirements upon filing. Submitting all the required documents and pieces of evidence may eliminate the need for the USCIS to issue an RFE or NOID. This, in turn, will help prevent delays.
