What these numbers say

In FY2026 Q2 USCIS received 282 I-956K filings and decided 224 of them. 599 were still waiting when the quarter closed — about 2.7 quarters of work at the rate the agency was clearing them. The median case took 0 months.

25.0% 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.
