Official USCIS processing-time records
This page shows only official records we have fetched and stored, each with its scope, official as-of date and fetch time. When nothing verified exists we say so instead of estimating. No approval rates are published here.
USCIS processing time depends on the form, the category you filed under, the office or service center handling it, and the specific facts of your case — and it changes over time. MyCases does not publish averaged processing-day or approval-rate estimates across cases.

Verified official records
USCIS publishes processing times per form, category and office. Each stored record is listed as published; we never merge or extrapolate across scopes.
Officially published by USCIS: the historical time in which 80% of adjudicated cases were completed. Not a prediction or a commitment.
Why times differ for the same form, and how to read this table
USCIS does not publish one number per form. It publishes one per form + category + office. Two I-485 rows can differ widely depending on the category and the office. Match the row to your exact filing before drawing any conclusion.
- Different category
- Categories under the same form (for example employment-based 131A vs. asylum-based 131B for I-485) follow different queues. The numbers are not interchangeable.
- Different office
- Service Center Operations (SCOPS), the National Benefits Center (NBC) and field offices are counted separately. Cases requiring an interview usually sit with a field office.
- It is not your estimated completion date
- It describes the time in which 80% of already adjudicated cases finished. It is a backward-looking figure, not a forecast for a pending case.
- Do not use it for case inquiry timing
- The USCIS "outside normal processing time" inquiry uses a different measure (93%). This figure cannot be used to derive an inquiry date.
- Official as-of date vs. fetch time
- The official as-of date is when USCIS updated the number; the fetch time is when we stored it. They are not the same thing.
Records are fetched from the official USCIS processing-times page and stored exactly as published per form, category and office, together with the official as-of date, the fetch timestamp and the parser version. The figure describes past adjudicated cases; it does not predict any pending case and cannot be used to derive a case-inquiry date.
