How long is my form taking?
USCIS publishes a range per form and per office. Both matter — the same form can differ by months depending on where it is being handled.
Forms decided at a local field office, where which office you are assigned to changes the answer by months.
I-212 — Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission
42.5 to 60 months (3.5 to 5 years)
All Field Offices
Estimated median
36.4 months
The published range is the slow tail, not the middle: USCIS's low figure is where about 80% of cases have finished and the high figure about 93%. So half of cases finish sooner than 36.4 months — three in four by 41.6, nine in ten by 58.3. An estimate from those two published anchors, not a figure USCIS publishes.
Ranges are as published by USCIS: the low figure is where about 80% of cases have finished and the high figure about 93%. Confirm on Check on USCIS's processing times page.
