Data built to be cited
EB5Status is designed as a citable data authority. Every published number traces to a government source or disclosed methodology. Every trust tier tells you exactly how confident you should be.
Who cites EB5Status
EB5Status data is referenced by immigration attorneys in legal filings, researchers in academic publications, journalists covering immigration policy, and policymakers evaluating program outcomes.
Our data is appropriate for citation when you need a consolidated, verified reference for EB-5 program statistics that would otherwise require consulting multiple government publications across different agencies and release schedules.
