Each plotted line is a single USCIS category, while the ranking above is form-level. Where this centre published more than one category with a published range for a form, the key names the one plotted and its share of that count; a bare form name means a single published category.

Processing Time is the average across USCIS filing categories that published a complete processing-time range at the displayed publication; upper-bound-only categories are excluded from two-sided averages, “up to” values average all published upper bounds, and status labels describe the displayed average.
USCIS also published I-130 categories for Service Center Operations only as upper bounds (up to 176 months), as of Aug 17, 2026. A range needs both endpoints, so those categories are not in the average above.
USCIS also published I-485 categories for Service Center Operations only as upper bounds (up to 144 months), as of Aug 17, 2026. A range needs both endpoints, so those categories are not in the average above.
vs Average compares this center's maximum against the average maximum published by every USCIS office reporting the same form on the same date, Aug 17, 2026 (2026-08-17) — an average that includes this center itself. Offices that have stopped reporting a form are not included, nor is the “All Field Offices” aggregate, which reports one combined figure for the field offices as a whole rather than a single office's own workload. Where this center is the only office reporting a form, the table says so; where the only other publisher was that aggregate, no comparable office remains and no comparison is shown.
