Cases by filing month

Receipt on file, still pending — we re-check it against USCIS until the outcome lands.

Receipt on file, decided — the outcome itself was read from the USCIS case-status system.

Stated by the case owner, not yet USCIS-checked — receipt-backed cases move up after their first check.

Compiled from a public community post — not first-party.

Figures are computed over all shared cases, and each case shows how we know it — the label above — with per-case provenance always inspectable in the app. Never presented as an official USCIS rate.

Receipt numbers are used only to read your status from USCIS — never displayed anywhere. Firm names never appear on an individual case, and we never ask for your name.

When a segment has too few cases to be meaningful, we suppress it rather than show a misleading number.

NIWStats is a data instrument to inform your own judgment. It isn't, and can't be, legal advice.

Where does the data come from?

From case owners who add their own EB2-NIW case, plus an early set compiled from public community posts. Receipt-backed cases are re-checked against USCIS until the outcome lands. Not official USCIS statistics.

How current is the data?

Tracked pending cases are re-read from USCIS at least once a day, and hourly once a premium case reaches its decision window, so a decision shows up on the live decisions feed within a day of USCIS posting it, often within the hour. The figures on this page were refreshed October 5, 2026. USCIS's official NIW counts come out quarterly; the latest covers FY2026 Q3 (Apr – Jun 2026).

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Free, and no account is needed to browse anything. An optional account exists only for conveniences like watching cases.

How does a case get added?

Owners add their own case in the app — a short form asking endeavor field, profile, and how you filed. Sharing the receipt number lets us track the case against USCIS; the receipt number itself is never shown.

Is NIWStats affiliated with USCIS or a law firm?

No — it's an independent, free data project: not USCIS, not a law firm, and not legal advice. You may see a clearly labeled sponsored link that helps keep the site free — it's kept separate from the data and isn't an endorsement. Questions or corrections: hello@niwstats.com.
