Global Visa Wait Times: Current Estimates for U.S. Embassy and Consulate Appointments

The estimated time to get an interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate can change each week. It depends on the number of applications received and how many staff members are available. These are only estimates and do not promise an appointment will be available.

Note: Some Embassies and Consulates may have a different process for visa applications that don’t require an in-person interview. These cases usually have shorter wait times, but those times are not included in the chart below. Visit the specific Embassy or Consulate website to see if your application qualifies for a waiver of the in-person interview.

If you plan to book your visa appointment in a location that is not where you live, be sure to check that Embassy or Consulate’s website for wait times for nonresidents.

Here's a list of U.S. Embassies and Consulates along with their current estimated wait times for B1/B2 visitor visa interview appointments, based on the latest data from the U.S. Department of State's Global Visa Wait Times page, last updated on November 14, 2022:
