Current local snapshot
Source verification and hard-refresh workflow.
The legacy PHP site mixed direct API calls, cached JSON, and local TSV exports. This rebuild makes each source explicit, records what is stale, and uses the USCIS RSS feed as the canonical index for official report updates.

Current processing-time endpoints are blocked for normal server fetches
Direct server-side requests to the USCIS processing-times API return a Cloudflare block. The site therefore treats the USCIS Immigration and Citizenship Data RSS feed plus linked quarterly workbooks as the primary up-to-date official source, and only uses cached March 29, 2022 API payloads as legacy context.
The local snapshot still includes cached March 29, 2022 processing-time payloads where they exist, but they are secondary context. The main up-to-date layer comes from the USCIS data reports linked in the RSS feed.
The two downloaded Historic Processing Times HTML files were audited, but they are Vue table templates without row payloads. They confirm the public table layout, but they are not a direct ingest source.
Hard refresh flow
Select annual medians are also overlaid from the USCIS historical factsheet. That source covers 16 classifications across 8 forms, and its FY2024 values are partial-year through January 31, 2024.
