In recent years, immigration policy has been a hot topic in the U.S., often surrounded by political debate and uncertainty. While the Trump administration brought about changes that made certain immigration processes more complex, we want to shine a light on a surprising and encouraging development: United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) processing times for some key applications have dramatically improved.

At our office, we’ve recently seen Adjustment of Status (green card) applications approved in as little as 2 to 3 months, and N-400 naturalization applications approved in just 1 to 2 months. These kinds of timelines are unprecedented. In the past, these processes could easily take 8 to 14 months or longer. The speed and efficiency we are seeing now are not only surprising—they offer a real opportunity for those who have been hesitant to apply due to perceived delays or barriers.

We understand the hesitation many people feel right now. The rhetoric surrounding immigration can be discouraging, and changes to policy have understandably caused confusion and concern. However, despite the climate, the actual mechanics of application processing at least in these categories are moving faster than ever before.

This means now is a great time to move forward with your immigration journey. Whether you're adjusting your status or applying for naturalization, the quicker timelines can bring peace of mind and faster resolution to your case.

We encourage everyone who is eligible to act. Don’t let fear or uncertainty hold you back. There are still efficient and effective paths forward—and we’re here to help you navigate them every step of the way. If you're considering applying, or if you have questions about your eligibility, reach out to our office by calling (915) 314-2363 to schedule a consultation today! We’re committed to supporting you and making the process as smooth and successful as possible.
