What these numbers say
In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 690 I-131 (Initial Parole Document for Aliens) filings and decided 579 of them. 32,573 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 52.4 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 0 months.
95.9% 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-131 categories
USCIS reports I-131 as separate categories, and they do not run at the same speed.
