US consular posts

How many visas each US embassy and consulate actually issued, by month and by visa class. Compiled from the State Department's monthly issuance statistics.

Latest data: February 2026. The State Department publishes these counts about 8 months in arrears; this is the most recent month it has released, not the current month.

Showing the 60 busiest of 217 posts, ranked by February 2026 volume.

Posts that started or stopped issuing

Compiled by comparing consecutive monthly files. The State Department does not announce these, and they are not visible in any single month's data.

A post dropping to zero can mean services were suspended, or that its caseload moved to another post, or that the month's file was compiled differently. This data shows that it happened; it cannot say why. Check the post's own website before relying on it.

What these numbers are

Visas issued, not applications received and not appointments available. A post that issued few immigrant visas may process none at all — several countries consolidate immigrant visa work at one post, which is why Ciudad Juárez handles Mexico's immigrant cases and Mexico City does not.

What they are not

These pages carry no estimated wait time. Issuance volume is limited by annual numerical caps and by staffing, not by how many people are waiting, and the queue at a post is not published — so any wait derived from these figures would be a guess presented as a fact. Volume and its direction of travel are what the data supports, and that is what is shown.
