N-400 applications by USCIS field office

USCIS publishes, every quarter, how many naturalization applications (Form N-400) each of its field offices received, approved, denied and had pending. This is the latest quarter, April 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026 (fiscal year 2026, quarter 3), next to the same quarter one year earlier.

The national totals

FY2026 Q3 FY2025 Q3 Change
Received 145,872 251,467 −42%
Approved 57,697 241,326 −76%
Denied 12,842 23,288 −45%
Pending at the end of the quarter 742,138 529,018 +40%

The totals combine regular and military naturalization, as the USCIS file does in its "Total" columns. The "pending" figure is the number of applications waiting for a decision on the last day of the quarter.

Pending applications per approval

One way to read the table is to divide what an office has pending by what it approved in the quarter. It is our own indicator, not a USCIS measure and not a waiting time: it says how large the queue is compared with one quarter of approvals. Nationally it was 12.9 in FY2026 Q3, against 2.2 a year earlier. For the official estimate of how long an application takes at your office, use the USCIS processing times tool.

The five offices with the most pending applications at the end of the quarter were Houston, Texas (31,057); Dallas, Texas (28,662); Chicago, Illinois (23,623); San Jose, California (20,899); and San Antonio, Texas (18,999).

Every office

An office's location is not the area it serves, so the office in your city is not necessarily yours. The USCIS office locator tells you which one covers your address. "Withheld" marks a figure USCIS leaves out because it does not meet the agency's disclosure standards.

What the numbers do not tell you

The file counts applications, not people's experiences. An application approved this quarter may have been filed in an earlier one, and some actions, such as transfers between offices, are not reflected, so USCIS notes that pending counts cannot be rebuilt from earlier reports. If you are waiting for your own interview, the interview guide explains what happens on the day, and the USCIS Contact Center is the channel for questions about a specific case.
