Why This Exists
Official Guidance Doesn't Show the Full Picture.
The law sets maximum decision timelines, but real processing times vary by office, workload, and document quality. We collect community timelines so you can plan with realistic expectations.
Realistic Processing Times
Official sources describe legal time limits, but they rarely reflect typical waits. Community timelines show what people actually experience across each stage.
