What It Is

visa.ooo is a free query tool that compiles publicly available immigration application data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In response to the official block on third-party USCIS processing trackers' API access, it was rebuilt from scratch using USCIS' official quarterly reports and RSS data sources, aggregating all public immigration application data to let applicants check case backlogs and processing progress for all form types.

Core Features & Pricing

The platform's core features include:

• Organizes 104 types of immigration application forms by category, displaying quarterly receipt volume, approval volume, denial volume and total backlog for each form
• Categorizes forms by USCIS' six service centers, showing the form types each center handles and the corresponding processing data
• Adds historical data from 2016 to 2024, supporting queries of processing time trends

The entire platform is completely free. All data is accessible without registration, and there are no paid features at all.

Pros & Cons Analysis

Pros:

• All data comes directly from USCIS' official public reports, so there is no risk of inaccurate data
• Its static data reconstruction approach avoids the official API block issue, so data availability is far higher than older tools
• It has clear categorization logic and convenient two-dimensional search, so you can find your target data quickly

Cons are also pretty obvious:

• Data has to be manually pulled from official documents and reconstructed, so real-time updates are not possible, and it is only updated quarterly
• Some niche form types only retain cached historical data, with no latest statistics
• It only provides macro statistical data, and does not support individual application case tracking by receipt number.

Who It's For & Access from China
