K1 Visa Approvals at Guangzhou Consulate

How many K1 visas the Guangzhou Consulate in China issued, by fiscal year and month. The State Department does not publish refusals by post, so no approval rate exists for this consulate and none is shown.

Totals by U.S. fiscal year, which runs October to September, so FY2025 covers October 2024 to September 2025. Refusals are not published for this visa class, so an approval rate cannot be shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the approval rate for K1 visas at Guangzhou Consulate in China?

What factors affect K1 visa approval at Guangzhou Consulate?
Factors include the completeness of your application, supporting documents, interview performance, and the consulate's workload. Common refusal reasons include missing documents, insufficient ties to your home country, or unclear travel purpose.
How can I improve my chances of getting a K1 visa at Guangzhou Consulate?
Prepare thoroughly for your interview, provide honest and complete information, and ensure all documents are in order. Review common mistakes and tips above, and consider professional guidance for complex cases.
Where does this consulate's visa approval data come from?
All data is sourced from the U.S. Department of State and official consulate reports. Statistics are updated regularly to reflect the latest available information.
Do Guangzhou Consulate issuance numbers change over time?
Yes. Issuance volume moves with policy changes, global events, staffing at the post and application demand. The tables above show every fiscal year published so far, so the direction of travel is visible.
Can I attend my K1 visa interview at a different consulate or in another country?
Yes, in many cases you can schedule your K1 visa interview at a U.S. consulate in a different country (known as third-country processing).

Data Source & Transparency

Data Source: All visa approval statistics are compiled from the official U.S. Department of State’s annual visa statistics reports. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, visit the U.S. Department of State Visa Statistics.

Methodology: These are counts of visas issued, taken from the State Department’s monthly issuance tables. No approval rate is shown because refusals are not published per country or per post, and a rate cannot be calculated without them. Figures exclude cases under administrative processing and are subject to reporting delays.

Disclaimer: This website is not affiliated with the U.S. government. All data is provided for informational purposes only. For official guidance, always refer to the U.S. Department of State or your local U.S. embassy/consulate.
