Press & Data
We maintain structured data on Indian immigration to the United States — visa bulletin history, sponsorship records, Census population figures and processing queues — and we cut it to order for reporters, usually the same day.

Data we maintain
Each set below is described by what it actually measures, because the distinction usually matters to the story.
Visa Bulletin history
Every Final Action Date and Date for Filing by category and country of chargeability, month by month, from August 2021 to the current bulletin — 55 category/country series in all.
What it is: Transcribed from the published Department of State bulletins; step carry-forward applied so any month resolves to the cutoff in force.
Cuts we can run: Movement by category, retrogression episodes, October reset comparisons, India vs China vs Rest of World.
See the live cluster →H-1B sponsorship records
About 75,000 employer × occupation × state rows drawn from Labor Condition Application disclosures, with position counts, median wage and wage level.
What it is: LCA filings are requests to employ, not visas granted — they measure sponsorship demand, not approvals.
Cuts we can run: Top sponsors by metro or occupation, wage distribution by SOC code, year-over-year sponsorship trend.
See the sponsor finder →Indian population by state
State-level Indian-origin population with 2020 vs 2010 change, plus metro concentrations.
What it is: US Census — Asian Indian alone (2020 and 2010 decennial Census, same definition both years).
Cuts we can run: Growth ranking by state, metro concentration, share of state population.

PERM and prevailing-wage queues, I-140, I-485, EAD and Advance Parole, and green card renewal — maintained against DOL and USCIS published figures.
What it is: Government-published processing times and queue positions, refreshed on each agency update; sentinel-flagged when a source goes stale.
Cuts we can run: Queue length over time, category comparison, employer-stage bottlenecks.

LayoffNext · 2026 Report
H-1B Layoffs vs Overall Layoffs, 2026
How much of the 2026 tech layoff wave landed on visa holders — estimated from layoff trackers and USCIS petition data.
Read the figures correctly: no public dataset identifies laid-off workers by visa status. The report models exposure from layoff counts and petition data and labels its own numbers directional estimates, not counts.
Sources cited in the report: Layoffs.fyi, TrueUp, SkillSyncer, USCIS H-1B data and WARN notices.
Analysis we will stand behind
October 2026 Visa Bulletin: the FY2027 reset
Why EB-2 India went Unavailable, what the October reset should restore, and the statutory math behind the annual cliff.
EB-2 & EB-3 India wait scenarios
Illustrative wait ranges from historical movement — clearly labelled estimates, never forecasts.
Indian population in the United States
Where the Indian-origin population lives and how it shifted between the 2010 and 2020 Censuses.
How to cite us
Attribute analysis to NRItoUSA and name the underlying source where the figure is a government one — most of what we publish is a transcription or a calculation on top of Department of State, USCIS, DOL or Census data, and the story is usually better with the primary source named.
“NRItoUSA analysis of U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin data, August 2021–September 2026.”Population figures should carry the Census definition and vintage (Asian Indian alone (2020 and 2010 decennial Census, same definition both years); last verified July 21, 2026). H-1B figures should say “sponsorship filings” rather than “visas,” since LCAs are requests to employ.
Requests and interviews
Custom cuts by category, priority date, employer, occupation or state — usually same day. We are also available for background and on-the-record comment on Indian immigration, the visa bulletin, and cross-border tax questions.
