US visa wait times by country and consulate

Q: How long is the US visa wait time?

It depends on the post. As of October 21, 2026, State's table put the next B1/B2 visitor appointment under a month away at 96 of 187 posts with a figure. State updates the table monthly, and says its figures don't guarantee an appointment within a specific time.

Q: What does next available appointment mean?

State says it predicts when you can expect to get an appointment at that post. New appointments are added regularly, so you may get one sooner, and once you've booked you can move to an earlier slot if one opens.

Q: Why does the average wait column say NA?

State shows how long B1/B2 applicants waited last month, from fee payment to interview, only where the next available appointment is more than three months away.

Q: Does the table include interview waiver appointments?

No. State says embassies may waive the in-person interview for eligible applicants, and wait times for those appointments aren't in the table. Check the embassy's own website.

Q: Can I get an earlier visa appointment?

Keep checking for newly released slots and move your booking. For an urgent, unforeseen need, State says a consular section may expedite your interview, but only after you've submitted your DS-160, paid the fee and booked the first available appointment. See how to request an expedited appointment.

As of October 21, 2026, the State Department's table shows the next B1/B2 visitor visa interview less than a month away at 96 of 187 posts with a figure, and six months or more away at 24. The longest is Monrovia at 19 months. Search your embassy or consulate below for its wait by visa type, its rank and how it has moved since May 2025.

How to read State's wait times

Next available appointment: A prediction of when you can expect an appointment at that post. New slots are added regularly, so you may get one sooner. (travel.state.gov)
Average wait (B1/B2): How long applicants waited last month, from fee payment to interview. Shown only where the next available appointment is more than three months away. (travel.state.gov)
How months are counted: In 30-day increments, with half months as 15 days, weekends and holidays included. (travel.state.gov)
What the table leaves out: Appointments for applicants whose in-person interview is waived. State also says its figures don't guarantee an appointment within a specific time, so check State's page and your embassy's booking system before you plan travel. (travel.state.gov)

How it works

Type your embassy or consulate's city, or your country, and pick it.
Pick the visa type. The answer shows State's figure, the post's rank and its B1/B2 range.
The full table below sorts by any column. It is rebuilt each month when State updates its page.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the US visa wait time?

It depends on the post. As of October 21, 2026, State's table put the next B1/B2 visitor appointment under a month away at 96 of 187 posts with a figure. State updates the table monthly, and says its figures don't guarantee an appointment within a specific time. (travel.state.gov)

What does next available appointment mean?

State says it predicts when you can expect to get an appointment at that post. New appointments are added regularly, so you may get one sooner, and once you've booked you can move to an earlier slot if one opens. (travel.state.gov)

Why does the average wait column say NA?

State shows how long B1/B2 applicants waited last month, from fee payment to interview, only where the next available appointment is more than three months away. (travel.state.gov)

Does the table include interview waiver appointments?

No. State says embassies may waive the in-person interview for eligible applicants, and wait times for those appointments aren't in the table. Check the embassy's own website. (travel.state.gov)

Can I get an earlier visa appointment?

Keep checking for newly released slots and move your booking. For an urgent, unforeseen need, State says a consular section may expedite your interview, but only after you've submitted your DS-160, paid the fee and booked the first available appointment. See how to request an expedited appointment. (travel.state.gov, travel.state.gov)
