U.S. visas issued to nationals of Haiti
The reports below contain preliminary data which are subject to change. Beginning with FY 2020, individual monthly issuance reports should not be aggregated, as this will not provide an accurate issuance total for the fiscal year to date. Instead, refer to our annual Report of the Visa Office for final full Fiscal Year statistics.
Nationals of Haiti were issued 61 U.S. nonimmigrant visas in September 2025, down 93% on September 2024 (856), the 155th largest nationality of 203 in the month's table.
For the full fiscal year the Department's Report of the Visa Office lists 7,922 nonimmigrant visas issued to nationals of Haiti in FY2024, 0.1% of the 10,969,936 issued worldwide and the 98th largest nationality of 197. The previous year's figure was 10,515 (FY2023).
The largest classes in September 2025 were C3 (foreign government official, immediate family, attendant, servant or personal employee, in transit) with 19, A2 (other foreign government official or employee, or immediate family) with 11 and G2 (other representative of recognized foreign member government to international organization, and immediate family) with 11. 299 immigrant visas were issued to applicants chargeable to Haiti in the same month, led by IR2 (132) and IR1 (92).
The Department's adjusted refusal rate for B (visitor) visa applicants who are nationals of Haiti was 50.26% in FY2025, above the North America median of 38.12%; it was 47.35% in FY2024. The rate covers B visas only and is the Department's own calculation, counting each applicant once by their final status in the year.
Haiti does not appear in the Department's Diversity Visa selectee lists for the years on this site, which usually means its nationals were not eligible to enter.
The U.S. post in Haiti (Port-au-Prince) issued 55 nonimmigrant visas in September 2025, to applicants of all nationalities.

The Department's rate covers B visas only; it counts each applicant once, in the status in which the fiscal year ended, so an applicant refused and later issued in the same year counts as an issuance. Source tables: FY2023, FY2024, FY2025.
