Updated visa issuances for July 2021 below. There has been a lot of discussion whether the Ghana embassy was still conducting interviews, it looks like they are but still at a lower rate than pre-COVID.
K1: lower visa issuances than June 2017, but the same number as July 2019.
IR1: stable for the past 3 months, but averaging about a third to a half of pre-COVID levels.
CR1s: Haven't been CR1s for awhile due to the length of time it is taking to get through.
What I continue to be struck by is how the operating levels at different embassies throughout Africa vary even though most have low levels of COVID. Many other African embassies are processing CR1s and applications appear to be moving through much faster than the Ghana embassy.
