The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
processes cases in the order in which they are received. Due
to the high workload, most of the time your case is pending
we will be processing cases that were filed earlier than yours.
This chart tells you which cases the Center is processing
and the date the cases were received by the Center.
