I keep on hearing figures about crazy number of denials and 60% of apps receive RFEs, where is this number coming from? Linking to the data for H1Bs, it seems like approval rates are 84%.

I was wondering the same thing. I checked the USCIS numbers and they were still pretty high. I am wondering whether these are just clickbait articles with cherrypicked data

I feel like articles were focusing most of their attention on the beginning of FY 2019 where RFE rates did touch 60+%, and approvals reached a low of 72%.

I also don't get how there are 190k+ petitions received during April but they only show 140k. I'm thinking they only account for selected petitions from the lottery.
