Baghdad: J2 visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Spouse or child of exchange visitor

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Baghdad issued 65 J2 visas, about 5 a month, compared with 5 in the 12 months before. But it issued only 1 in January and February 2026, against about 6 a month from March to December 2025.

This counts visas issued, which shows how busy the post is, not how long you will wait. The State Department data here ends in February 2026, so it cannot show what has changed since then, such as pauses that started or ended later.
