I’m going through a marriage-based green card process. I received an I-797C receipt notice a month ago.
How long does the I-797A receipt notice usually take? Can I contact USCIS to get it faster?
For a citizen spouse sponsorship green card, it takes about 12 months from filing. If you’ve received I-797C (receipt notice), you can expect a fingerprinting notice soon as well.
However, expedited service often doesn’t apply to citizen spouse sponsorship cases, so if you want it faster, we recommend contacting and checking with USCIS.
