In May 2018, we reported that there is a substantial increase in the average wait time for nonimmigrant visa interview appointments in India.

The long wait for nonimmigrant visa appointments continues. On an average, it now takes anything from 5-to-7 weeks or even more at most consulates for a nonimmigrant visa interview appointment. We urge nonimmigrant visa applicants in India to keep this delay in mind while planning any travel to the United States.
