How this was collected 37 reports, submitted anonymously by applicants as their status changed, between 2025-12-22 and 2026-05-29. Provenance: 37 web. Every row carries its own date and source tag. Reports flagged as recovered from local storage are excluded from movement timing because their submission time is unreliable. No personal information is collected or stored. Full methodology.
