USCIS K-1/I-130 STATS

[1HappyGuy 45]

I was just cruising the USCIS web site and decided to see "What's New". The statistics as of May 2006 are absolutely amazing. The May 2006 receipts included 68,375 I-130/I-129F petitions; pending applications as of May 2006 included 1,144,869 I-130/I-129F petitions.

So, if it is taking a little long to process it is understandable. I was just astounded with these numbers. Now it should be understood that the great majority of these petitions are for I-130's. It is really to bad that they don't breakdown the two types of petitions.

Just thought you would like to know.

Where exactly did you find that info? I looked it up but came up with nothing. I'm interested.

You need to go to the What's New heading on the home page. The go to statistics, monthly and look for immigration benefits. I'll put in a link when I'm finished with dinner.

Pretty incredible when you think about it. Makes everyone's complaints seem a little small.

Yeah, I went to "What's New", but could only find statistics on 2005 and the previous years. I must be doing something wrong.

It is amazing, so that means at the current processing rate, it will take about 10 years!

Thank you... So, yeah. I-130 is a petition for a relative, including spouses; they have the number for I-130 and I-129f added. So... still, it's amazing that they have to work on over 6 million I-130/I-129f petitions.

Amazing indeed! If we could only get all those 6 million USC petitioners together and form some sort of lobbying group, then it would indeed make a difference when we complain to Congress or the Pres.

Here is a quote I found on migrationinformation.org:

The number of new arrivals remained relatively stable at about 400,000 annually between 1986 and 2005.

Although the number of adjustments has greatly varied between 1986 and 2005, the number of new arrivals has remained relatively stable at about 400,000 per year (see Figure 1). Processing problems with adjustments and backlogs at the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the current USCIS are primarily responsible for wide fluctuations in the total numbers.

At the end of 2005, about 900,000 adjustment-of-status applications were pending a decision. Thus, users should be cautious in interpreting LPR admission data.
