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

From Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, Guangzhou issued 12,290 F1 visas, about 1,024 a month, down 21% from the 12 months before. But it issued only 306 in January and February 2026, against about 1,198 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.
