What the numbers are, and are not
- Every row comes from an applicant’s own report, not from the State Department. A post with few reports can look quieter than it is.
- Reports are anonymised: no names, case numbers or usernames are stored or shown.
- Counts are reports we hold, not totals for the post. Use them for direction and timing, not as official volumes.
- Need a specific cut (a post, a visa type, a date range) or a quote? Get in touch.
