Nicosia: CR1/IR1 visas issued

Immigrant visa: Spouse of U.S. citizen

Nicosia has not issued any immigrant visas since November 2024, in State Department figures up to February 2026.

Interview scheduling at Nicosia

NVC is scheduling most CR1/IR1 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

All three categories: immediate relatives, family preference and employment

Current

the update’s month, Oct 2026

The State Department sends immigrant visa applicants from Cyprus to Frankfurt, not Nicosia.

Details
For now, from our reading of the numbers: Nicosia issued no family or employment immigrant visas from Mar 2025 to Feb 2026, so “current” may mean it schedules few of these interviews, or none.

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.
