How long USCIS is taking to decide I-360 petitions, which cover very different categories: VAWA self-petitioners, Special Immigrant Juveniles, religious workers, widow(er)s of US citizens and others. Updated every day.
We're still collecting enough decided I-360 cases to publish our own numbers (we wait for at least 20). Until then, USCIS's published national median is 6.2 months.
USCIS national median, FY2026 for I-360: 6.2 months.

Our figure and USCIS's median combine categories that move on completely different tracks. Special Immigrant Juvenile petitions have a 180-day statutory target; VAWA self-petitions first get a prima facie review; religious worker petitions can include a site visit before approval.
Widow(er)s of US citizens generally have to file within two years of the spouse's death. Special Immigrant Juveniles have age limits. Confirm the details for your case with USCIS or an immigration attorney.

All USCIS processing timesUSCIS's published national median for I-360 is 6.2 months. We don't yet have enough decided I-360 cases of our own to publish a figure, so this page shows USCIS's number until we do.
Not by itself. It makes you eligible to apply, through an I-485 if you're in the US or an immigrant visa abroad, once a visa is available in your category.
Ours come from real I-360 cases we tracked from the day USCIS received them to the day they were approved or denied, over the last 12 months. USCIS's median covers its whole fiscal year and, for some forms, only one category. Neither predicts a single case exactly: your service center or field office, your category and any Request for Evidence matter more.
