USCIS processing-time quarterly change log

TL;DR: PetitionPace treats a processing-time change as verified only when it can be tied to an official USCIS data release or processing-time tool source. National historical medians are useful context, but office/service-center rows need the USCIS data files.

What changed with the June 12, 2026 USCIS data release?

USCIS posted its FY2026 Q1 all-form application and petition data on June 12, 2026. Before: researchers used earlier quarterly files or national historical medians for trend checks. After: the FY2026 Q1 XLSX became the primary source for reviewing form and office/service-center movement by quarter.

Last verified: June 26, 2026. Primary source: USCIS Immigration and Citizenship Data.

How should service-center changes be recorded?

Record the form, category, office or service center, reporting quarter, prior quarter value, new quarter value, publication date, and the USCIS workbook URL. If the source only gives a national median, label it as national median and do not present it as a service-center-specific change.

What official historical source is allowed for national trends?

USCIS publishes historical national median processing-time factsheets. Before: a form's trend could be inferred from older fiscal-year medians. After: the March 5, 2024 USCIS factsheet gave FY2016-FY2024 partial national medians for several common forms, but not service-center rows.

Last verified: June 26, 2026. Primary source: USCIS historical national median processing times factsheet, data as of March 5, 2024.
