Derivations
Quantity Input Rule Result
Bound in months the bound and its unit string weeks x 7 / 30.44, days / 30.44, months left alone 1,062,035 values normalised
Missing bound the same fields, nothing usable published NA with a reason code, never 0 7,621 rows carry a reason
Range validity the two normalised bounds invalid when the lower exceeds the upper, checked after normalising 2,894 observations across 9 keys fail
Revision event consecutive snapshots of a key dated to the first day seen, bounded by the previous snapshot 23,489 events, landing every 23 days
Revision direction delta on the upper bound judged on the upper bound alone 11,087 worsened, 8,207 improved, 4,195 unchanged
Inquiry-date movement inquiry date day to day one day of advance expected per elapsed day 13,204 backward moves across 854 keys
Withdrawal a key vanishing confirmed only after two present snapshots both lack the key 599 confirmed, 12 provisional, 12 retracted
Collection gap the coverage table recorded absent, never counted as a withdrawal 44 days absent, longest run 17
Retired service centres office code against its successor mapped to the successor so consolidation does not break a series 5 centres, last seen 2025-10-21
Age of the estimate snapshot date minus publication date no rounding; the age on the day it was collected mean 18 days, oldest 74
Office spread latest snapshot, field offices pseudo office codes excluded 90 offices compared
Break in a line a run of days with no snapshot drawn as a hole and shaded, never bridged; a change inside one carries the date collection resumed, not the date it happened 44 days in 25 runs, widest 17 days
Assembled from 1,638 daily snapshots spanning 2022-03-21 to 2026-10-27, totalling 1,067,594 observations of what USCIS published on each day. The agency publishes only today's figure and replaces it silently, with no changelog and no notification, so stacking daily snapshots is the only way to recover the history. Every number here is the agency's own; this project collated snapshots that were already public and did not collect them.
Rules and thresholds
Rule Value
Percentile basis USCIS 80% completion method; the bounds are percentile positions, never averaged
Published precision half a month, 99.8% of values land on .0 or .5
Withdrawal confirmation two consecutive snapshots that exist and both lack the key
Backslide ranking floor 40 recorded backslides before a form is ranked on severity
Forms with a per-office dimension N-400, I-485, N-600, N-600K
Office codes treated as directorates SCD, NBC, FOD, IPO, IOP, EFC
Comparison year pair 2025 against 2026
