Data notes
How to read this page
- Annual processing-month history for select classifications is refreshed from the official USCIS Historical Processing Times Trends factsheet (data as of March 5, 2024).
- Historical national median processing times are refreshed from the official USCIS rendered tables. FY2026 is partial-year through May 31, 2026.
- Current processing-time estimates in the local snapshot come from cached USCIS API responses published on March 29, 2022. They are included only as legacy context; the primary up-to-date source is the USCIS Immigration and Citizenship Data RSS feed and linked quarterly workbooks.
- Monthly service-wide metrics come from the latest USCIS appropriations reporting CSV and may use a different processing-time methodology than the historical national median series.
