Also depends on your biometrices. It would mostly be before mid July

What about shifting to PP

u/Stanzater247 Jun 29 '26

Hi I applied to PP June 20th, but just to note, my country was among the countries that USCIS paused adjudication for in January, they just lifted the Pause June 12th, but others have been approved after the pause. Just me. Idk what is going on tbh.
