I-821D — Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

What these numbers say

In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 84,857 I-821D filings and decided 18,638 of them. 223,522 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 12.0 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 3.9 months.

2.2% 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.
