What happened to the applications

How long the wait is

The estimated wait is how long it would take to decide every pending application if USCIS kept up that quarter’s pace. USCIS does not publish a processing time for this form in these reports.

The estimated wait is the pending applications at the end of each quarter, divided by the decisions (approvals and denials) made per month during it.
