USCIS publishes a median processing time for each form it decides. These are the fifteen slowest of the forms it decided in volume in FY2026 Q2. The slowest, I-130 (All Other Relative), ran at 3.3 years.
A median means half of the cases finished in that quarter took longer. It describes cases USCIS completed, not cases filed today — a form with a long queue is deciding filings that are already years old.
