USCIS Chart

I got an email from the USCIS (Citizen and Immigration Service) that they've received my I-129F application plus a tracking number. I can go to their website and find out the status of my application online.

Unlike other forms, there are only 4 service centers processing the I-129F application. Currently, the processing time at the California Service Center for I-129F applications is 5 months. If you look at the detailed chart, at the end of March 2011, there are 10,491 cases pending. For the total month, they received 2,649 applications and processed 2,546. If they work at the same rate, then I won't hear anything until mid-October.
