USCIS Processing-Time Trends: August 2026 Data Report
This report is fixed to the date shown rather than changing with the latest site data. It compares like-for-like USCIS publications near a 60-day target and states the actual interval.
Source and provenance
USCIS publishes the underlying processing-time figures. FillingTide records the publication and observation dates so changes can be compared over time. Verify time-sensitive information on the official USCIS page . Read our data-source notes.
What this snapshot shows
Of 22 tracked combinations with a valid comparison, 20 had a higher published 80th-percentile time, 2 were unchanged, and none had a lower value. Every comparison spans 54 actual days. These observations do not identify a cause and do not predict an individual case.

The median current value was 12 months across unlike forms and categories, so it is descriptive of this limited report set—not a typical applicant timeline. The largest observed move was +8.0 months for I-130 at All Field Offices.
Direction by form
The simple mean change is shown only as a description of the tracked combinations in each form; the mix is not weighted by case volume and should not be compared as a workload measure.
| Form | Compared | Lower / higher | Unchanged | Simple mean change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I-130 | 3 | 0 / 3 | 0 | +3.8 months |
| I-485 | 8 | 0 / 7 | 1 | +1.8 months |
| I-765 | 3 | 0 / 2 | 1 | +1.0 months |
| N-400 | 8 | 0 / 8 | 0 | +1.9 months |

Interpret this report carefully
The report uses the observations available on August 6, 2026 and shows the actual number of days in each comparison. It does not interpolate missing values, weight results by case volume, explain causes, or forecast future processing times.
