Beijing: Q1 visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Participant in an international cultural exchange program

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Beijing issued 18 Q1 visas, about 2 a month, compared with 9 in the 12 months before.

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.
