In 2012, the U.S. had a little more than 300,000 open immigration cases. There are now 2.5 million, according to government data published by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. With so many new cases filed, and thus pending for far less time, the overall average wait time has shrunk. The average case has now been pending for less than two years, compared with 2.5 years in 2021, according to TRAC data. The average wait time for an asylum hearing is four years, compared with about 4.7 years in 2021.
