What the numbers mean

  • Cases waiting for a decision at the end of the quarter.
  • Approved ÷ (approved + denied) in the quarter. Withdrawn and administratively closed cases are not counted.
  • Half of the cases USCIS completed in the quarter took this long or less, from receipt to decision.
  • New cases USCIS received during the quarter.

Where these come from

Every figure is read from a file USCIS or the immigration courts publish. We do not estimate or adjust them. Each one shows the period it covers, so you know how recent it is.

Checked October 10, 2026 · These are totals for everyone who applied, not a prediction for any one case.
