How to read these numbers

Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance any applicant would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas and applicant numbers change every year. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Under five tags the percentage is flagged: one applicant either way swings it. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.

Not an application service

Draw rules, quotas, fees and deadlines are set by each agency and change by commission action. Check the agency's site and apply there; we don't take applications.
