Before you use these numbers

Office-level pending counts do not add up to the nationwide total published for each category.
A rising pending count at one office says nothing about how long individual cases there have been waiting.
This file does not report why any office's pending caseload moved, only the counts at each quarter end.
Comparisons across offices of very different sizes can make a small office's percentage change look more dramatic than a large office's larger absolute change.
