Context, not a case prediction

These aggregate figures describe completed cases and are a reference point only. An individual case can take more or less time.

How the 80% processing time changed

FillingTide compares the same form, category, and office across dated USCIS publications. An unchanged publication is not counted as a new observation. We do not interpolate missing values or predict an approval date.

The 80th-percentile processing time increased

0.5 months between February 16, 2026 and September 2, 2026. This is a historical comparison, not a forecast for an individual case.

The horizontal axis uses the USCIS publication date, so spacing reflects the actual interval between observations. Processing times are normalized to months only for visual comparison; the table preserves both percentile metrics in their source units.

Dated processing-time history

The chart uses only the 80th-percentile processing time. The table keeps that value separate from the 93rd-percentile threshold USCIS uses to calculate case inquiry eligibility.

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.

Understand this number

USCIS calculates the displayed processing time from the 80th percentile of recently completed cases. This page does not establish why it changed or how long an individual case will take.

Case inquiry date

USCIS calculates inquiry eligibility from a separate 93rd-percentile threshold. The published data lists August 12, 2025 as the current date for cases eligible to ask a question. Always use the official USCIS tool before making an inquiry.
