Belfast: F1 visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Student in an academic or language training program

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Belfast issued 346 F1 visas, about 29 a month, down 13% from the 12 months before. But it issued only 16 in January and February 2026, against about 33 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.
