Bishkek: F1 visas issued

Nonimmigrant visa: Student in an academic or language training program

Looking for F1 (family) immigrant visas? See Bishkek’s F1 (family) page.

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Bishkek issued 800 F1 visas, about 67 a month, down 56% from the 12 months before. But it issued only 17 in January and February 2026, against about 78 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.
