Outcomes

What the data actually shows.

Official rulebooks describe what is supposed to happen. Forum anecdotes describe what happened to one person. Published aggregate statistics — from the agencies that actually grant the permits — describe what is happening across the whole cohort. This is the tranche Meridian has curated so far: 55 outcome rows across 12 country-visa pairs, every figure carrying a named publisher and verification date.
