Abidjan: CR1/IR1 visas issued

Immigrant visa: Spouse of U.S. citizen

Interview scheduling at Abidjan

NVC is scheduling most CR1/IR1 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Spouses, children and parents of US citizens

March 2026

same as on Sep 23

Most immigrant visa applicants at Abidjan are citizens of Côte d'Ivoire, and their immigrant visas are suspended. They can still get an interview, but may not get a visa. Dual nationals who apply with the passport of a country not covered are an exception.

Compare with the month NVC emailed you that your case was documentarily complete.

What this month means

It is not a wait time: it is the month NVC is scheduling most interviews for now, and it can move backwards. “Current” means NVC is already scheduling cases from the update’s month; it can also mean the post schedules none, so check the embassy’s own website (usembassy.gov). Documentarily complete: NVC has accepted all your documents.

Visas issued, Mar 2025 – Feb 2026

130

down 50% from the year before

Per month

For now, from our reading of the numbers: Abidjan issued only 6 in January and February 2026, against about 12 a month from March to December 2025.

Visas issued show how busy the post is, not how long you will wait.
