Hi everyone,

There’s been a lot of discussion here about the processing times for F cards, L cards, and even citizenship applications. However, I haven’t seen much about the timeline for F+ cards.

I understand that, deep down, it’s probably the same as with F and L cards—decisions being made on the very last day of the processing period. But I’m curious: has anyone been lucky enough to receive their F+ card earlier than the standard 5-month timeframe?

After all, for the F+ card, DVZ mostly just checks if you’re still living with your partner at the same address, which is visible in the National Register.

If you’ve renewed your F card to an F+, please share your experience!
