Backlog at the current pace: 22 months. That is how long the 9,546 pending would take to clear if decisions stayed at this quarter's rate and nothing new arrived (a year ago: 3.3 months). It is a measure of how far behind the office is, not a prediction for any one case.

Questions about the USCIS Kendall field office

How long does citizenship (N-400) take at the USCIS Kendall field office?

USCIS does not publish one exact wait for each office. In Apr–Jun 2026, the Kendall office decided 1,285 citizenship applications and had 9,546 pending at the end of the quarter. That is fewer decisions than a year earlier (−75%). At that pace, clearing everything pending would take about 22 months, compared with 3.3 months a year ago. Use the USCIS "Check Case Processing Times" tool for your form and office. It gives the time it takes to finish 80% of cases. The numbers on this page show whether your office is speeding up or slowing down, which that tool does not.

What is the N-400 approval rate at USCIS Kendall?

USCIS approved 82.7% of the citizenship applications it decided at Kendall in Apr–Jun 2026. The rate for all field offices was 81.8%.

How many green card applications are pending at USCIS Kendall?

45,973 I-485 applications were pending at the Kendall field office at the end of Apr–Jun 2026. It decided 881 in the quarter, with an approval rate of 84.6%. Employment-based cases are mostly decided at service centers, so most of these are family-based or humanitarian.

Why is the Kendall field office slower?

Field offices have been deciding far fewer applications in 2026 than a year earlier, while new filings keep arriving, so pending cases are piling up, and approval rates have fallen too. USCIS does not publish a reason for each office; its quarterly data shows the slowdown at almost every office at once, which points to agency-wide causes rather than anything about one office.

How do I know which USCIS field office handles my case?

Your field office is set by your home ZIP code. Your interview notice names it, and the official USCIS office locator (uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices) shows the office for any ZIP code.
