The United States has recently taken a number of steps to reduce the wait period for US visas from India. The most recent proposal also suggests that travellers who cannot wait for a long time can now apply for US visas from embassies abroad.

As travel restrictions connected to the epidemic were abolished, India had a sharp surge in visa requests, which resulted in a major lengthening of the visa wait time. The waiting period for a US visa is currently close to two years in some places. But, if a traveller chooses to apply for a visa from another nation (specific few), the wait may last for almost a week.

What is the anticipated wait time for US visas from various cities?
If you're requesting a B1/B2 visa, then you will have to wait 596 days if you apply from New Delhi, 625 days if you apply from Chennai, 638 days if you apply from Mumbai, and 589 days if you apply from Kolkata. The US Embassy in India announced that travellers who can't wait that long can apply for the same visa through a third nation. The embassy has also informed us that Thailand has increased the number of B1/B2 appointment slots available for Indians, with a wait time of only roughly 14 days. The following nations have substantially shorter wait times for visas:
23 days in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Singapore: 2 days
7 days in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Thailand, Bangkok and Chiang Mai: 14 days
KSA: One day
Hong Kong: seven days
17 days for Frankfurt, Germany
Qatar's Doha: 30 days
53 days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
58 days from Melbourne, Australia
UK, London: 78 days
Only B1/B2 applicants who need to attend an interview should use the above time.
