Which category your case is counted in

Work authorisation filed alongside or after an I-485 is reported in its own I-765 category.

USCIS does not publish a separate processing time for an applicant with pending green card case. It publishes I-765 as Adjustment Of Status, and that is the queue your petition sits in — so the figures above are that category's, not an estimate made for this page.

What comes after the petition

This EAD is tied to the pending I-485 and ends if that case is denied.

Reading the number

4.3 months is a median: half of the I-765 Adjustment Of Status petitions USCIS finished in FY2026 Q2 took longer than that, and half took less. It describes cases that were completed in the quarter, so it says nothing directly about a case filed today — a queue of 584,851 pending petitions sits ahead of a new filing.
