Tunis: IR5 visas issued

Immigrant visa: Parent of U.S. citizen at least 21 years of age

Interview scheduling at Tunis

NVC is scheduling most IR5 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

All three categories: immediate relatives, family preference and employment

Current

the update’s month, Oct 2026

Current can also mean Tunis is not scheduling immigrant visa interviews at all.

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: Tunis issued only 1 in January and February 2026, against about 5 a month from March to December 2025.

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