A non-immigrant US visa called the “F1 visa” enables international students to study in the USA. It can take weeks or even months to complete the complicated F1 visa US approval or issuance process. The time of year and the demand for F1 US visas are two factors that can affect how quickly the procedure moves through.
It is very important to be aware of the seasonal pattern in demand for F1 US visas if you are thinking about applying for one to study in the US. You might be able to get your visa issued more quickly if you can apply for it at a less busy time of the year.
Since 2018, the total number of F1 Visa US approvals or issuances in Bangladesh has been broken down by calendar month in the graph above. The demand for F1 US visas in Bangladesh follows a distinct seasonal trend, as the graph demonstrates. Usually, the months of May, June, July, and August are the busiest months because this is when many students apply for visas to begin their studies in the fall semester. February, March, and April are traditionally the slowest months.
This seasonal trend is triggered by a few factors. Initially, the deadlines for applying for the fall semester at many American schools and universities are in the winter or spring. In order to have enough time to have their visas approved before the start of the semester, students have to start the visa application process early.
Furthermore, a lot of Bangladeshi students come from homes that don’t have a lot of funds. Hence, before students can afford to pursue higher education in the United States, they might need to save up money for tuition as well as additional costs. As a result, many students may decide to postpone applying for F1 visas until the summer, when they will likely have more money saved.
Finally, summer is often when the US Embassy in Dhaka has a greater number of resources and staff available. This indicates that during this time of year, the embassy can process F1 visa applications more swiftly.
Tips for applying to F1 US Visa during the busy seasons
There are a few things you can do to boost your chances of obtaining your F1 visa US approved swiftly if you must submit an application during the hectic season.

During your visa interview, be ready to discuss your goals for further education and your financial situation. Be attentive. Avoid a mess. I believe you’ll understand it fairly quickly. Best of Luck
