Dakar: CR2/IR2 visas issued

Immigrant visa: Child of U.S. citizen

Interview scheduling at Dakar

NVC is scheduling most CR2/IR2 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Spouses, children and parents of US citizens

June 2026

same as on Sep 23

Most immigrant visa applicants at Dakar are citizens of Senegal, 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.

For now, from our reading of the numbers: Dakar issued only 15 in January and February 2026, against about 189 a month from March to December 2025.

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