How long will it take for USCIS to process my application? Latest Data from USCIS

With the Trump Administration taking over USCIS on January 20, 2025, there was well-founded concern that USCIS processing times—already lengthy—could again spike.  USCIS has published data for quarter 2 of Fiscal Year 2025, covering the period from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025.  This data, with some of the more commonly used application forms summarized in the below table, includes the median processing time for cases adjudicated during this period.

It is the first period from this administration with available data and thankfully, it does not yet show a spike in processing times.  In fact, some types of applications were being processed very rapidly.  For example, the DACA renewals were being processed in a median processing time of less than one month.

Some caveats are in order, however.  First, some of this data was from before the Trump Administration took over.  Relatedly, the data that was from the Trump Administration was from the earliest days. New policies, staff reassignments, and staff reduction could still result in increased processing times which would show up in future data releases.  Given these caveats, it will bear watching future data closely.  Those who have applications which have been pending beyond the norm may want to consider direct communications to USCIS, congressional inquiries, or a complaint in federal district court for unreasonable delay (sometimes known as mandamus actions).  If you would like to set up a consultation to talk about options in your case, you can schedule online here.
