At Murthy Immigration Services, we are often posed with the question on the wait times for U.S. visas applicants in India. In this news update, we are sharing a compilation of the wait times as on Monday, April 15, 2024.

Comparative Table for Consular Posts in India

For the convenience of our readers, we are sharing a comparative table, showing visa category-wise wait times for all the consular posts in India. This information is available on the Department of State’s website.

 * We have listed NA where no information is listed on the above website. 

Interview-wavier based B1/B2 visa applications are processed only at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi. We reported this on April 4, 2024.

Similarly, H, L, O, P and Q visas applications requiring a personal interview are processed only at the consular posts in Chennai and Hyderabad. 

F, M, J, C, D, C1/D visa applications that qualify for the interview wavier are processed only at the consular post in Chennai. 

Conclusion

U.S. consular posts across the globe are making efforts to minimize the wait times for visa interviews. While we have a long way to go for B1/B2 applicants requiring an in-person appointment, we appreciate the efforts made by the consular posts. We will continue to monitor and share updates on this important subject.
