Where these numbers come from
These figures are taken directly from USCIS's "Number of Service-wide Forms By Quarter, Form Status, and Processing Time" report, published quarterly on the USCIS Data Library. Every count on this page is reconciled against that report's own total row before publication; a workbook that does not reconcile is not used. Nothing here is estimated.
