The State Department issued new visa appointment wait time estimates from April 25, 2025. The monthly estimates will now include additional information on the average time nonimmigrant visa applicants waited for an interview in the previous month, in addition to the estimated wait time until the next available interview appointment for visitor visas.
The wait time estimates are not a guarantee of the time it will take for an applicant to get an appointment. Wait times are measured from fee payment to visa interview date in the previous month. Embassies and consulates may waive the in-person interview requirement for eligible applicants.
