What these numbers say
In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 4,953 I-131 (Parole in Place) filings and decided 1,097 of them. 24,961 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 22.8 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 12.6 months.
45.5% 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.

USCIS reports I-131 as separate categories, and they do not run at the same speed.
