SLIGHT DELAY FOR I-129 TN VISA PETITIONS

According to USCIS' most recently published processing times for the Vermont Service Center (VSC), the VSC is taking longer than normal in its adjudication of I-129 petitions requesting TN visa status. (The VSC has sole jurisdiction for adjudicating these types of I-129 petitions.) As of the date of its report (May 31, 2015), the VSC was working on TN petitions filed on March 9, 2015, which suggests it is taking almost 3 months to adjudicate these petitions. The VSC normally lists its processing times for I-129 petitions seeking TN status as 2 months.
