The slowest USCIS field offices

"Queue" is pending cases expressed in months of work at the rate that office was clearing them. "vs national" compares it with USCIS's own figure for the same form. An office that decides few cases is pulled toward the national figure, so one quiet quarter cannot put it at either end of this table.
