Monthly tables Mar 2017 to Sep 2025 · 114th of 217 posts by nonimmigrant issuances in Sep 2025 · wait times read 1 Jul 2026

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. On wait times the Department says: "New appointments are added regularly, so you may get an appointment sooner" and "The average wait times we report do not guarantee a visa applicant will get an appointment within a specific time."

Questions and answers

How many visas did the U.S. post in Yerevan issue last month?

867 nonimmigrant visas in September 2025, the latest month in the State Department's monthly issuance tables, and 487 immigrant visas. In September 2024 the post issued 2,338 nonimmigrant visas.

What is the wait for a visitor visa interview in Yerevan?

The Department's Global Visa Wait Times table, read on 1 Jul 2026, listed the next available B1/B2 interview appointment as 1 month away (under 2 months). The Department updates the table monthly and says new appointments are added regularly, so an applicant may get an appointment sooner.

What is the wait for a student visa interview in Yerevan?

The next available F, M or J appointment was listed as 1.5 months away on 1 Jul 2026. Student appointments are scheduled separately from visitor appointments at most posts.

Which visa classes does Yerevan issue most?

In September 2025: B1/B2 (713, 82.2%), P1 (34, 3.9%), P3 (32, 3.7%), A2 (29, 3.3%) and J1 (12, 1.4%). 21 nonimmigrant classes appear in the post's table for the month.

Is visa volume at Yerevan rising or falling?

September 2025: 867 nonimmigrant visas, down 63% on September 2024 (2,338). The month-by-month series on this page shows the path one month at a time; the Department notes that monthly reports are preliminary and subject to change and should not be added together.

How many visas does Yerevan issue in a year?

The Department publishes annual totals separately, in its Report of the Visa Office, and says its monthly reports should not be aggregated, so this site shows no yearly figure for a post. The annual tables by nationality are on the nationality pages.

What does the issuance count for Yerevan not tell you?

It is the number of visas issued, not the number of applications received or interviews held, and it says nothing about the outcome of any individual application. The Department publishes refusal rates only for B visas by nationality, not by post.

Where does this data come from?

The State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs publishes monthly nonimmigrant and immigrant visa issuance tables by post and visa class, and a Global Visa Wait Times table. Issuances on this page run March 2017 to September 2025; wait times are read from the Department's table and kept as dated snapshots (44 readings for this post).
