This is the total USCIS printed for this category, not the sum of the offices: a suppressed office is inside the printed total and cannot be recovered from the table. Pending is a count at each quarter end, so it cannot be added across quarters.

Military naturalization cases pending rose by 2,658 between March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, a smaller category than the main naturalization pending count.

Before you use these numbers

  1. This file counts cases at each quarter's end and does not show how long any individual case has been waiting.
  2. Office-level pending counts do not sum to the nationwide total published by USCIS, since some offices are suppressed for small numbers.
  3. A rising pending count can reflect either slower processing or higher intake, and this data does not separate the two.
  4. Quarter-to-quarter changes shown here are not the same as a full-year trend, since only two points in time are compared.
