What these numbers say

In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 37,808 I-130 (All Other Relative) filings and decided 23,584 of them. 1,597,832 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 67.8 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 39.4 months.

43.2% of the decisions made were denials. That figure is shown because it is published, not because it is a verdict: USCIS releases no measure that separates an office applying the law strictly from one receiving weaker filings, so nothing on this site grades on it.

Other I-130 categories

USCIS reports I-130 as separate categories, and they do not run at the same speed.
