About this document

A USCIS statistical report on Form I-140 immigrant petitions received and their current status from FY2012 through FY2022 Q1-Q2, shown for all countries and for India, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Brazil. It breaks the totals into approval, denial, and pending/other outcomes, then further splits approvals by EB1, EB2, and EB3 categories and their subcategories.
