Just wondering
We have submitted I-130 and I-485 to Chicago lockbox and got transferred to National Benefits Center. Residing in the US and DACA recipient (came when I was 6 months old). I’ve been seeing that cases from Jan 2024 are being accepted and I was wondering if the timelines are likely to look the same or if they could be processed faster considering I live in the US for 20+ years and have DACA? I know nobody could tell when we’ll get accepted but just wanted to know if those factors help us in terms of speed. Thanks for reading/replying!

probably you have other ead than marriage case. that can make it slower than usual unfortunately, depends on my search. Case process time can be 3 years. it depends on your case. sponsor. your wife salary or job or upload prof enough or not. so many factor affects. You need be patient at this time and pray:) National benefits center become faster than before this days. this is good news at least. your case become electronic application.
