I-800 — Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative

What these numbers say

In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 436 I-800 filings and decided 429 of them. 357 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 0.8 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 3 months.

7.7% 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.
