Yes, they are doing Emergency visas in case of a emergency. But its showing I would guess expedited IR1 and CR1. I think this website will be a great asset in looking at numbers for June because on June 12th the State Department made the decision to make the exempted visas "mission critical" so it would just be interesting to see how many consulates listened to this and started doing them. Because I'm assuming in July they will post June's. 

That’s the whole point! CR1/IR1 are MISSION CRITICAL right now!

True, United Kingdom and France are starting IR1 and CR1 interviews and they haven't announced ANYTHING about it on Frances website, and I think just recently United Kingdom just did. 

Well thats the theory but I personally wont believe its happening until I see someone post here that they have got an interview date and its a non expedited case... hopefully me posting that lol

You do not understand, that for family-based visas there cannot be any limits?

This is not true at all.  There are many family preference visas that have annual caps on the numbers available, with additional limitations by country of chargeability.

 

Google "Visa Bulletin."

True, but how come no one has offered this on the forum for people to look at as reference visas in certain countries are being issued to give some hope? 

It is literally referenced all the time in similar threads...

I've posted it in at least a few dozen different threads, and I'm absolutely certain many others have posted it as well. I think it was just yesterday (or 2 days ago?) I posted it with regards to IR/CR visas issued by the UK in January vs April (to compare "normal" vs "emergency" issuances).

Anybody googling "US Visa statistics" will find it right away.

There's just SO MANY pages and threads to go through its hard to remember which link go where. Is there anyway possible someone could PIN a thread with all sources, links and valuable information all in one post thats updated daily, so it doesn't get lost or people ask the same question 20 times a day lol?

No worries!

 

That would be something for an admin to decide. Although a wiki page is another option that I believe anybody can write (https://www.visajourney.com/wiki/). Approval might be needed before it is published, though...?

Well, spouses’ visas have no limitations.

For spouse of a USC there is no limit. For spouse of an LPR, there is an annual limit.

That makes me think. How do we know exactly, how many spousal visas are given out each month or year per country. Like I was trying to think of how much of a backlog Sweden would have of spousal visas, so I tried to do research and I couldn't find out how many types of visas are given out per country each year. Does anyone know else know? 

I have wondered the same thing!
