USCIS publishes the two counts, not this ratio: it is approvals divided by completions in the same quarter. A completion is not always an approval or a denial, and a form completed this quarter may have been filed years earlier.

Approvals made up 82.2% of completions as of June 30, 2026, down from 85.2% as of March 31, 2026.

This is the total USCIS printed, not the sum of the form lines: the file's own total leaves some lines out. Pending is a count at each quarter end, so it cannot be added across quarters.

The pending total of 12,807,907 as of June 30, 2026 was up 5.6% from 12,129,905 as of March 31, 2026.

This is one form line at each quarter end, not quarterly activity: it cannot be added across quarters, and the form lines do not add up to USCIS's own total.

I-129 pending rose by 72,235 between March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the largest increase among the individual form lines shown here.

This is the total USCIS printed, not the sum of the form lines: the file's own total leaves some lines out. This counts what happened in each quarter, so it is not a running level.

Denials rose 44.3% between March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, reaching 245,471.

Before you use these numbers

  1. This file counts forms, not people, so one applicant with several pending forms is counted more than once.
  2. A rising pending count can reflect more filings, slower processing, or both, and this file does not separate those out.
  3. The approval share compares approvals and completions within the same quarter, and completions in a quarter are not necessarily the same cases filed that quarter.
  4. USCIS periodically revises figures it published in earlier quarters, so a comparison to an older report may not match what was published at the time.
Every form USCIS listed for this quarter. † marks the lines USCIS's own total does not count.
