Waiting time for interviews   

The estimated waiting time for an interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate is subject to change weekly and is based on the actual workload received and staff. This is just an estimate and does not guarantee the availability of appointments.   

Qualifications for expedited interview appointments 

The consular section abroad may be able to speed up your interview if there are urgent and unexpected cases such as funerals, medical emergencies or school start dates. The process of applying for a visa for accelerated non-immigrants varies by location. You should refer to the instructions on the embassy or consulate visa section where the interview will take place, or on the online scheduling site. You must provide evidence of the need for an appointment in advance. 

  

In all cases: You must first submit an online visa application form (DS-160), pay the application fee, and schedule the first available interview. Only at this stage will the consular section consider your application for an urgent appointment. Note: Travelling for weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in annual trade/academic/professional conferences or enjoying last-minute tourism is not eligible for urgent appointments. For such travel, please schedule a regular visa early. 

Management treatment 

This estimate does not include the time required for administrative processing, which may affect some applications. When management treatment is required, the timing varies depending on the individual circumstances of each case.   

Management processing information   

There are only two possible outcomes of applying for a U.S. visa. The consular officer will issue or reject the visa. If the visa applicant does not decide that he or she is eligible for a visa, the consular officer must reject the application. However, some rejected visa applications may require further administrative processing. When administrative processing is required, the consular officer will notify the applicant at the end of the interview. The duration of administrative treatment will vary depending on the individual circumstances of each case. At the end of the administrative processing period, the consular officer may conclude that the applicant is now eligible for the visa he or she is applying for. The employee may also conclude that the applicant is still not eligible for a visa. Visa applicants are reminded to apply for their visa early, well before the expected travel date.   

Important note: Except for emergency travel (any serious illness, injury or death in your immediate family), before asking questions about the status of administrative treatment, applicants must wait at least 180 days from the date of the interview or provide additional documentation, whichever is further away.
