Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card

Last updated: March 2026 · 1 office

USCIS processing snapshot: Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services publishes adjudication-time data monthly for each service center and field office handling I-90. This snapshot covers 1 office and was last refreshed in March 2026. The average minimum processing time across reporting offices is roughly 12.5 months, with the fastest office currently at 12.5 months (NBC) and the slowest at 12.5 months (NBC). USCIS processing time is the agency’s own reported window for cases currently receiving decisions, not a guarantee, individual cases can finish inside, at, or beyond the range depending on case complexity, RFE activity, and office workload.

How to read the range. USCIS expresses each I-90 range as a two-number window, the lower bound is the time at which 50% of cases are decided and the upper bound is the time at which 93% of cases are decided. The “receipts being processed” column shows the actual filing dates USCIS is currently working on, which is a complementary ground-truth signal: if your receipt date falls within that window, your case is likely at or near the front of the queue. The official source for real-time updates is the USCIS processing times tool.
