This release came from questions people asked about the consulates page: does it cover family cases, where are K-1 visas, and how often are visas refused for public charge.
Every kind of visa at each consulate
- The chart of how far back each post is scheduling cases now has a switch for employment, family preference and immediate relative visas. State's scheduling tool lists all three for every post.
- Each consulate's page shows the work visas it issued: H-1B, L-1 and the other work classes for the newest month, and a year of H-1B and L-1 as a chart. A table lists every visa class issued there, K-1 fiancé(e) visas included.
- The consulates page ranks posts by the H-1B, L-1 or K-1 visas they issued in the newest month.
- K-1 visas aren't in State's scheduling tool, which lists immigrant visas only, so the pages say so. Visa counts come from State's monthly reports, which it posts several months late.
Share your interview
Each consulate's page has a short form for anyone who had a visa appointment there, for any kind of visa. It asks for dates and choices only: no name, no case number, no account. The page shows what people report, such as interviews held each week and how many ended in a 221(g), once at least 3 people have reported. Every figure says it comes from visitors.
Why visas are refused
Why visas are refused shows every ground for refusal State counts, for immigrant and nonimmigrant visas. It covers every fiscal year from 2000 to 2024, from State's own Report of the Visa Office. Public charge, 221(g) and 214(b) each have their own chart. State publishes these figures once a year, worldwide only.
Cases filed each day
Cases filed each day counts the PERM cases, wage requests, H-1B LCAs and H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 filings that reached DOL today, yesterday and on any day since 2019. Each day opens the cases filed on it.
Elsewhere

- The homepage shows how often DOL approves PERM as one bar: certified, denied and withdrawn.
- The open data files are free for non-commercial use with credit. News reporting, research and teaching may use them in any publication. Other commercial use needs our permission.
- The privacy policy covers the consulate reports, deletes a stopped browser notification 90 days after it stopped, and says how anyone named in DOL's records can ask for their name off our pages.
