With the holiday season fast approaching, we notice that as of this writing, nonimmigrant visa interview appointments are not available until January 2018 across the U.S. consular posts in India.

Subscribes to our bulletin and regular readers are aware that the nonimmigrant visa interview dates are generally available within two weeks at any time across all U.S. consular posts in India.

In the past, we have observed that the wait times for nonimmigrant visa appointments are much shorter within a few weeks after the holiday season.

We urge nonimmigrant visa applicants in India to keep this delay in mind while planning any travel involving the U.S., if a visa is needed. We will continue to bring the latest updates on this subject.
