How to read this

Odds are the share of first-choice applicants at your exact bonus-point level who drew in FWP’s drawing. Montana squares bonus points (one chance plus points squared), so there is no hard cutoff and we only show levels where FWP reported applicants.

Odds are historical, not a promise

Every number here is what happened in one past draw. Applicant counts, quotas and point creep change every year, so your odds next year can be higher or lower. Check the agency’s regulations before you apply. How this tool works.
