USCIS Data Center

Q: What data does the USCIS Data Center contain?

The Data Center publishes USCIS validated EB-5 data across five dashboards: quarterly processing metrics (receipts, approvals, denials, pending for all 9 EB-5 form types), visa backlog inventory by country, filing fee schedules, I-526E filing trends by TEA category, and I-485 adjustment of status pending counts. All data is downloaded directly from uscis.gov with original source files preserved.

Q: How often is the data updated?

Data is refreshed within 72 hours of USCIS publication, which occurs on a quarterly basis. USCIS typically releases updated statistics 60 to 90 days after each fiscal quarter ends. The current dataset covers through FY2025 Q3 (April to June 2025). Fee schedules and other reference data are updated whenever USCIS publishes changes.

Q: Can I download this data?

Access depends on your account tier. Public visitors can view the latest values and narrative analysis. Free account holders get 4 quarters of historical data with dashboard and alert access. Pro subscribers ($49/month) get the full archive from FY2015 to present, cross tabulations, watermarked CSV and JSON exports, and API access with 1,000 calls per month.

Q: What are trust tiers?

Trust tiers indicate the provenance and reliability of each data point. Blue (Official) means the number comes directly from a government source file with no modification. Gray (Derived) means the value is calculated by EB5Status from official data using disclosed methodology. Green (FOIA) means data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. Yellow (Estimated) means inferred from partial data or statistical models. Orange (Editorial) means analysis, commentary, or interpretation.

Q: How does EB5Status validate data quality?

Every dataset undergoes triple verification: source file hash verification (SHA-256 checksums confirm the downloaded file matches the original), field level validation (Zod schemas enforce data types, ranges, and cross field consistency), and cross reference checks (values are compared against prior quarters and related datasets to detect anomalies). The full methodology, including known limitations, is documented on the Data Center Methodology page.

Q: What source files does EB5Status use?

The Data Center draws from 6 primary USCIS source files published by the Office of Performance and Quality on uscis.gov. These include the I-526/E quarterly processing report, pending I-485 inventory by country, visa availability and priority dates data, fee schedule publications, and the USCIS processing times tool. Each source file is listed in our Source Registry with download date, hash, and verification link.
