I-485 approvals last week from our community in Inmigreat.

We run an app called Inmigreat, where over 1.3M cases are being tracked, and the numbers shown in the picture come from our platform.

These are NOT the total USCIS approvals nationwide — they only represent the cases tracked by our app community. However, they do give you an idea of the trend.

Before the freeze, we were seeing over 100 green card approvals per day among the cases tracked in our app.

I pulled the official USCIS N-400 data (FY2026 Q1). The naturalization wait isn't national — it's local, and the gap between offices is wild.

I went through the latest official USCIS naturalization data (Form N-400, FY2026 Q1) and the headline numbers are genuinely encouraging — but they hide the part that actually affects you.

The national picture:

  • 247,840 new N-400s filed last quarter
  • 143,564 approved vs 18,054 denied — an ~89% approval rate
  • 611,463 pending nationwide, down from the pandemic peak of 1,015,055 (FY2021 Q1). That's a ~40% drop in the backlog.

So on paper, things are moving. Here's the catch: there is no "national" wait. Your N-400 is processed at one of 93 field offices, and the queue at your office is what sets your timeline — not the country-wide average. Two people who filed the same week in different cities can be a year apart, purely based on geography.

That's the number most people never look up. So I'd check yours before assuming the "backlog is down" headline applies to you.

You can find your specific field office — its pending queue, approvals, and how it stacks up against the biggest offices in the country — here: https://www.inmigreat.com/en/analytics/n-400/

65% of EADs approved in June were spring-2025 filers. Full cohort + receipt-block breakdown from 1.3M tracked cases.

We run a case-tracking app that currently follows around 1.3 million USCIS and immigration court cases. I pulled all the June approvals across those cases and looked at two things most trackers ignore: what month people filed, and what receipt-number block they landed in.

The pattern is clean — USCIS isn't approving at random, it's working through cohorts in order. Sharing so you can place your own case.

🛂 I-765 (work permit) — the spring 2025 batch is out

65% of the EADs approved in June were from Feb–Jun 2025 filings, with a heavy spike in March–April 2025. Reference wait was ~15 months.

If you filed Feb–Apr 2025, you're in the group being worked right now. May–Jun 2025 filers look next.

❤️ I-130 (family) — they're draining the 2022 backlog

~61% of approved petitions were from 2022 filings (concentrated Oct–Nov 2022), averaging ~3.6 years. This is old-backlog cleanup. If your petition is from late 2022, this is your window to watch closely.

🏠 I-485 (green card) — gated by biometrics, not filing month

66% of approvals came right after biometrics were completed. Filing month didn't predict much here — completing the fingerprint appointment was the strongest signal approval was close.

The receipt-number part (this is the useful bit)

EADs don't come out one by one — they come out in contiguous receipt-number blocks, in order. Over 90% were from the electronic filing center (receipts starting with IOE).

  • Right now they're sweeping IOE0930x–0931x — which lines up exactly with the March–April 2025 filing cohort above.
  • Next wave looks like IOE0932x–0934x (a few are already trickling in).
  • I-130 is way back at IOE0917x–0918x — older receipts = older filings, which is why it's the 2022 backlog.
  • I-485 was scattered across multiple centers (IOE + Nebraska + others), so no single block — consistent with it being biometrics-driven.

TL;DR: find your IOE receipt block. If you're in 0930x–0931x, you're in the current EAD wave. If you're 0932x–0934x, you're likely up next.

One honest caveat: these are patterns from real June approval data across the cases we track, not guarantees. Every case is different and timelines shift. But it beats staring at a "Case Was Received" status with zero context.

Bonus tip from the data: for I-765 and I-130, 62–74% of cases sat in "actively reviewing your case… nothing outstanding" right before approval — rarely an RFE or interview after that. If you see that status, it's one of the better signals you can get.

We do this kind of USCIS breakdown a lot — full analyses (by form, field office, processing trends, etc.) are on our site at inmigreat.com. If it's useful, check the Analytics Menu there. Happy to run the numbers again next month. What block is everyone in?

88% of ALL pending I-130s sit in just 5 service centers. Vermont holds the most in the country.

Pulled the official USCIS data (FY2026 Q1). There are 2,348,518 I-130s pending — and your I-130 is adjudicated at a service center, not your local field office. Five centers hold 87.6% of everything:

  • Vermont (ESC) — 467,776
  • California (WSC) — 447,757
  • Texas (SSC) — 391,861
  • Nebraska (NSC) — 375,540
  • Potomac (YSC) — 374,517

The takeaway: where your case waits has nothing to do with where you live — it's USCIS workload distribution, not your zip code. (This quarter they received 194K and approved 188K, ~87.5% approval rate.)

I went through the public USCIS data on (I-485) and figured this community would find it useful:

  • ~1.33M I-485 cases pending nationwide right now.
  • Most-backlogged field offices: Kendall (~38K), Hialeah (~32K), Tampa (~22K).
  • Approval rates by category: family-based ~87%, employment ~92%, Cuban adjustment ~95%, refugee/asylee ~96%.
  • Processing has slowed roughly 3x over the last several months.

Happy to answer questions about specific forms/offices in the comments. I keep a fuller breakdown updated here if it helps: https://www.inmigreat.com/en/analytics/backlog/

(Full disclosure: I built a free app that tracks USCIS/EOIR cases, which is how I have this data. Not trying to sell anything — just sharing the numbers.)

Uptick in work permit approvals this week (from the Inmigreat Case Tracker)

Sharing something from the Inmigreat Case Tracker this week (Jun 20–26): there was a noticeable uptick in work permit (EAD) approvals, with a peak of 36 approvals in a single day. Screenshot attached.

That's the highest pace since around December 2025, when everything slowed down.

Honest caveat: this is self-reported data from a sample of app users, not official USCIS figures, and one week doesn't confirm a trend. But the movement looks real, and several people in the community are reporting the same thing.

Anyone else get their EAD approved this week or in the last few? Curious whether it lines up with what you're actually seeing.
