Non-immigrant Visa Interview Wait Times in India

We have started a new weekly update on the current visa wait times at the Consular posts in India for non-immigrant visa appointments. This will be shared on the first working day of each week.

Comparative table for Consular posts in India

The below is a comparative table for the consular posts in India, as on April 22, 2024.

* We have listed NA where no information is listed against a particular visa category on the DOS website. 

There is no significant difference in the wait times for most visa categories in the last week. Though, this calendar indicates availability of student visa interview dates across all the consulates (with a long wait time), when one attempts to schedule an appointment, the same is available only at Mumbai in 2026. These are generally place holder appointments which are used for eligible applicants to raise a request for emergency appointment. 

We also notice that interview waiver C,D, C1/D is now available in New Delhi as well. 

Conclusion

We will continue to monitor and share weekly updates on this important subject. At any time, for the latest in visa appointment wait times, one can visit the Department of State’s website.
