The Department of State is committed to protecting our nation and its citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process.  We now provide additional information on the average time nonimmigrant visa applicants waited for an interview in the previous month.  We also continue to provide the estimated wait time until the next available interview appointment for visitor visas.  We update visa wait time information monthly.

Our embassies and consulates release additional appointment slots regularly.  Applicants who want an earlier appointment slot after initially scheduling their interview should check back regularly and move their appointment to another available slot.  Detailed instructions are available on the website of the embassy or consulate where the applicant schedules their interview.

The average wait times we report do not guarantee a visa applicant will get an appointment within a specific time.
