Monthly average processing time

USCIS also reports to Congress every month. These are averages for cases completed in each month, so single slow cases pull them up; they are usually higher than the median.

Frequently asked questions

How long does I-751 take in 2026?

In Apr–Jun 2026, USCIS completed half of all I-751 cases within 22.6 months of filing (median, USCIS quarterly report). The monthly report for August 2026 shows an average of 21.9 months for cases completed that month. Your own case can take longer: half of all cases take longer than the median.

Is I-751 processing getting faster or slower?

Slower: the median was 19.7 months in Apr–Jun 2025 and 22.6 months in Apr–Jun 2026. The longest median since FY2022 was 26.1 months in Jan–Mar 2024.

How many I-751 cases are pending?

339,830 I-751 cases were pending at the end of Apr–Jun 2026. USCIS received 51,225 and completed 10,994 cases in that quarter.

Why is this different from the time on the USCIS website?

The USCIS Check Case Processing Times tool shows how long it took to complete 80% of cases at a specific office over the past six months, so it is usually longer than the median shown here. Use the USCIS tool for case inquiries; use the history here to see the trend.
