Frequently asked questions
What does the historical median mean?
It is the time USCIS took to complete half of the cases finished during a fiscal year. It does not predict an individual case's time.
Can I compare it with my office's current time?
Not directly. This history is a cumulative national median; the current page shows an 80% measure for an office and a recent completion window.
Is FY2026 complete?
No. FY2026 covers Oct. 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026.
