Visa issuances and wait times at the U.S. post in Casablanca

Monthly tables Mar 2017 to Sep 2025 · 77th 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."

In September 2025, the latest month published, the post in Casablanca (Morocco) issued 1,769 nonimmigrant visas, down 14% on September 2024 (2,063).

The largest classes that month were B1/B2 (temporary visitor for business and pleasure) with 1,551, 87.7% of the post's issuances, A2 (other foreign government official or employee, or immediate family) with 65, 3.7% of the post's issuances and C1/D (combined transit and crewmember visa) with 49, 2.8% of the post's issuances. Among the 211 posts that issued B1/B2 visas in September 2025, Casablanca ranks 58th by count; for F1 student visas it ranks 98th of 184.

On the immigrant side the post issued 298 immigrant visas in September 2025, led by DV (111) and IR1 (68); 257 in September 2024.

The Department publishes annual totals separately, in its Report of the Visa Office; this site does not add monthly reports together, so the month-by-month table below is read one month at a time.

The Department's Global Visa Wait Times table read on 1 Jul 2026 listed the next available appointment as 3 months for a visitor (B1/B2) interview, 1 month for students and exchange visitors (F, M, J) and 3 months for petition-based workers (H, L, O, P, Q). For visitor visas that is longer than the 2 months listed about six months earlier (2 Dec 2025). The average wait actually experienced by B1/B2 applicants interviewed in the previous month was 2.5 months.

Questions and answers

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

1,769 nonimmigrant visas in September 2025, the latest month in the State Department's monthly issuance tables, and 298 immigrant visas. In September 2024 the post issued 2,063 nonimmigrant visas.

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

The Department's Global Visa Wait Times table, read on 1 Jul 2026, listed the next available B1/B2 interview appointment as 3 months away (2 to 6 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 Casablanca?

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

Which visa classes does Casablanca issue most?

In September 2025: B1/B2 (1,551, 87.7%), A2 (65, 3.7%), C1/D (49, 2.8%), K1 (24, 1.4%) and J1 (17, 1%). 17 nonimmigrant classes appear in the post's table for the month.

Is visa volume at Casablanca rising or falling?

September 2025: 1,769 nonimmigrant visas, down 14% on September 2024 (2,063). 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca 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).
