Quarterly Nightingale compliance reports

This request asks for copies of the quarterly Nightingale compliance reports (reports tied to the federal lawsuit over USCIS delays in releasing immigration files), in both versions produced: the A-File version (A-File means a person's immigration file) and the "SIG" version. It asks for the reports as they were sent out, for each quarter from January 1, 2024 to the present.

Why it matters
The reports would let the public see the agency's own internal compliance figures.
ProcessingExtension invoked 27 business days since filing (39 calendar days)

Figures as of Oct 17, 2026. Check after Nov 16, 2026: if you are reading later than that, these figures may be out of date.

These figures are more than 30 days old. They may not reflect what has happened since Oct 17, 2026.

Extension invoked
USCIS told the requester it would invoke the 10-working-day "unusual circumstances" extension the law allows (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(B)). What an extension means
