Access
The Department's site sits behind a bot-protection service. Files are read from the Department's site where it responds, and otherwise from the Internet Archive's copy of the same URL; each file, once parsed, is kept by this site as a dated snapshot so that a later access failure never changes a published figure. The post table (which post is in which country, with map coordinates) is maintained by this site, not by the Department.
Notices
Consulate Report is not a law firm and does not give immigration advice. Figures on this site are statistics about past decisions and published estimates; they say nothing about any individual application. For questions about a specific case, consult a licensed immigration attorney or accredited representative.
