How to read State's scheduling month
State says the tool shows the documentarily complete month and year for which NVC is scheduling most interviews in your classification at the selected U.S. embassy or consulate.
If your case became documentarily complete before the month shown, NVC is scheduling cases like yours here. A preference case also needs a current priority date in the visa bulletin. It's NVC's paperwork queue, so it doesn't say whether the post is holding interviews.
Sources: U.S. Department of State, IV Scheduling Status Tool, update of November 6, 2026, and its monthly immigrant visa issuances by post through February 2026.

What these reports can't tell you
They aren't a sample of everyone. People with a 221(g) or a refusal are likelier to say so than people whose visa came the next week. A share here is what the people who reported saw. It isn't the post's rate.
Nobody can check them. There's no case number, by design, so a report can't be tied to a case. State's own figures for this consulate are above this section.
The rules behind these numbers
State's IV scheduling table through Nov 6, 2026 · State visa issuances through Feb 28, 2026 · State nonimmigrant visa issuances through Feb 28, 2026. How these figures are counted. Spotted an error? Tell us; every fix is dated in the corrections log.
The sources in full
State's IV scheduling table: State Department's IV Scheduling Status Tool (travel.state.gov, read in a browser) · data through Nov 6, 2026 · monthly, copied in a browser (state refuses scripts)
State visa issuances: State Department monthly immigrant visa issuances (state.gov) · data through Feb 28, 2026 · monthly, posted months late
State nonimmigrant visa issuances: State Department monthly nonimmigrant visa issuances by post (state.gov) · data through Feb 28, 2026 · monthly, posted about eight months late
What each source includes
State's IV scheduling table: For each US consulate, the month of documentarily complete cases the National Visa Center is scheduling interviews for, as State's IV Scheduling Status Tool printed it at each monthly update. It covers employment, family preference and immediate relative cases. It's NVC's paperwork queue, so it doesn't show an interview wait or whether a post is holding interviews. Copied in a browser, since State's site refuses scripts.
State visa issuances: Immigrant visas State's consulates issued abroad each month, by visa class and by country or consulate. A green card granted inside the United States (adjustment of status at USCIS) isn't in it. For employment categories, that's most of them.
State nonimmigrant visa issuances: Nonimmigrant visas each US consulate issued each month, by visa class (H-1B, L-1, K-1 fiancé(e), visitors, students and the rest), from State's monthly tables, which State calls preliminary. Visas only: a change of status inside the United States isn't in it, and neither are refusals. Each month is checked against State's own grand total.
