Why this site
- Official numbers only. Every figure comes from a USCIS, State Department or Department of Labor publication and links to it.
- History, not just today. USCIS and DOL show one current number; here you can see the trend since 2020–2022 and every Visa Bulletin since 2001.
- The right measure. Medians, averages and USCIS's 80th-percentile tool answer different questions. Each page says which one you are looking at (methodology).
