We've had tons of questions on whether the Ho Chi Min City US Consulate in Vietnam has been approving family based US Visas (and if so at what rate).  To answer that, we dug into the official US State Department data and plotted visa approvals for K1, CR1, IR1 and IR5 visas over the last 2 years. Here is what we found:

 

  • K1 Visa processing is recovering.  It's still below average after a 3 month pause in processing last summer, indicating a backlog.
  • IR1 Visa and CR1 Visa processing times are back to pre-Covid rates.  There was a processing surge that seems to have made a dent in the backlog due to the 3 month pause last summer.
  • IR5 Visa processing had a HUGE surge in April showing an all hands on deck effort to process the backlog after 11 months of being stopped.  This is very promising!

 

The full data is below.  What are your thoughts?

Where you get this data? I need data from Bolivia. We’re waiting several years now.
