Question

How many K1 Visas are processed annuallY?

I am trying to find out how many Ka visas were processed for the past few years (04, 05, 06). I am undergoing the process and am in the beginning stages. I can't seem to find hard numbers anywhere, can someone assist?

Answer 1

I don't believe there are specific numbers. It has more to do with qualifications.

Answer 2

There are no statutory limits for K-1 visas, unlike many immigrant categories.  As many can be issued as petitions are approved and cases appear to be genuine.  In FY-2006, 48,864 K-1 visas were issued.  You can find other numbers here:

Answer 3

I dont think that you will be able to find an exact number!   I can tell you that my husbands was Processed and Completed the end of 2006 - 2007- That could make a difference.  Since they take sometimes up to a year to get them done and everything you wont be getting an exact number for 1 specific year!
