The information provided is an estimate and does not guarantee the availability of an appointment.</p> <p><b>Wait Time for Interview Waiver</b></p> <p>Wait times for applicants eligible for Interview Waiver are applicable only for locations where applicants schedule appointments to submit their passport and any required documents to a U.S. embassy or consulate. The wait time estimate does not account for the time required for a consular officer to adjudicate the application nor mailing time of passports or other documents. Refer to the website of the <a href="https://www.usembassy.gov/">Embassy or Consulate Visa Section</a> where you will apply to determine your eligibility for Interview Waiver and for instructions for submitting a nonimmigrant visa application. Note that applicants must be a national or resident of the country where they are applying to be eligible to apply via Interview Waiver.</p> <p><b>Qualifications for an Expedited Interview Appointment</b></p> <p>Consular sections overseas may be able to expedite your interview date if there is an urgent, unforeseen situation such as a funeral, medical emergency, or school start date. The process to request an expedited nonimmigrant visa interview varies by location. You should refer to the instructions on the website of the <a href="http://www.usembassy.gov/" title="U.S. Embassy Website">Embassy or Consulate Visa Section </a> where you will interview, or on their online appointment scheduling site. You will need to provide proof of the need for an earlier appointment.</p> <p><b>In all cases</b>: You must first submit the online visa application form (DS-160), pay the application fee, and schedule the first available interview appointment. Only at this point will a consular section consider your request for an expedited appointment.</p> <p><b>Note:</b> Travel for the purpose of attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in an annual business/academic/professional conference, or enjoying last-minute tourism does not qualify for expedited appointments. For such travel, please schedule a regular visa appointment well in advance.</p> </p> </div></div> <div class="tsg-rwd-text parbase section"> <div style="margin-top:5px"> <h2 id="tsg-rwd-text" class="main_section"> <h3>Administrative Processing</h3></h2> <p><p>These estimates do not include time required for administrative processing, which may affect some applications.

The consular officer will either issue or refuse the visa. If a visa applicant has not established that he or she is eligible for a visa, the consular officer must refuse that application. However, some refused visa applications may require further administrative processing. When administrative processing is required, the consular officer will inform the applicant at the end of the interview. The duration of the administrative processing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case. At the conclusion of the administrative processing period, the consular officer might conclude that an applicant is now qualified for the visa for which he or she applied. The officer may also conclude that the applicant remains ineligible for a visa. Visa applicants are reminded to apply early for their visas, well in advance of the anticipated travel date.</p> <p><b>Important Notice:  </b>Except in cases of emergency travel (i.e. serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family), before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants should wait at least 180 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.</p> </p> </div></div> <div class="tsg-rwd-text parbase section"> <div style="margin-top:5px"> <p><p><b>About Visa Processing Wait Times – Nonimmigrant Visa Applicants</b></p> <p>Information about nonimmigrant visa wait times for interviews and visa processing time frames are shown on this website, as well as on U.S. Embassy and Consulate websites worldwide. It should be noted that the “Wait Times for a Nonimmigrant Visa to be Processed” information by country does not include time required for administrative processing.
