Know what each number measures.

Published by USCIS

Monthly statistics cover selected high-volume forms and must not be read as the agency-wide total. National totals use the explicit TOTAL row in the all-forms workbook. Supplemental DS-230 and EOIR counts are excluded from that total, as USCIS specifies.

Different measures answer different questions.

• Received, approved and denied count activity in the reporting period. Approvals can concern applications received in an earlier period.
• Pending inventory is the number awaiting a decision at the end of the period. It is not a processing-time estimate.
• Monthly average processing time describes completed cases in the reporting month. Where classifications differ, the site shows their range rather than averaging averages.
• Historical national median is the time USCIS took to complete half of cases in the fiscal-year period. FY2026 is partial-year, October 1, 2025 through August 30, 2026. These medians are not interchangeable with the office estimates on USCIS's current processing-times page.
• Missing and suppressed values remain “Not published.” They are never converted into zero. A total across classifications is unavailable if a constituent value is missing.
• Total completions may include administrative closures and other dispositions, so approvals and denials do not always sum to completions.

Counts retain their classification.

Approved and denied charts show case counts. Pending and received charts show quarter-end inventory alongside new cases received during the quarter. The separate approval-share chart divides approvals by approvals plus denials; it excludes other dispositions and is not an individual approval prediction.

Current graphs use four all-forms workbooks, FY2025 Q4 through FY2026 Q3. Individual waiver forms have one detailed quarter available here. I-600 + I-600A, I-800 + I-800A, and N-600 + N-600K are published combined groups, including on their component form pages. Standalone counts are not inferred.

Archived charts use the preserved export's explicit classification codes, rather than row order. Historical and current periods are separate. No current Indo Chinese adjustment series was found; its legacy charts remain historical only. The older travel-document subgroup, legacy Waivers and SAW groups also lack a verified current concordance. Missing and suppressed cells stay unavailable.

What reconciles, and what does not.

All five latest-quarter totals match the sum of the published classifications after applying USCIS's supplemental-form exclusions. The source's historical figures are preserved as published.
