Each month, VisaJourney dives into the official US State Department data and captures the latest Family & US visa approval trends for K1, CR1, IR1 and IR5 visas. This page is updated monthly.
- K1 Visa processing is down from pre-Covid levels, but trending up, with an 8-10 month backlog of cases.
- IR1 Visa processing is SURGING and above pre-Covid rates. It appears the consulate focused here to reduce backlogs.
- CR1 Visa processing (couples married less than 2 years) is down roughly at pre-Covid levels, with a 3-4 month backlog of cases. We are seeing a surge to clear backlogs.
