Backlog over time
Time to clear backlog is how long the office would need to decide every pending case at last quarter’s pace. It is not your wait: the pile includes cases on hold and cases waiting for a visa number.
How to read the chart
USCIS sometimes moves pending cases between offices. The chart leaves it out for quarters in which the office decided fewer than 100 of these cases.
