12-MONTH WAIT FOR US TOURIST VISA IN HYDERABAD

🛂🇺🇸 12-MONTH WAIT FOR US TOURIST VISA IN HYDERABAD

Planning a US trip from India? Hyderabad now has the longest US visitor-visa (B1/B2) wait in the country — 12 months for the next available interview appointment, per the latest US State Department figures.

📊 Next-available B1/B2 interview waits: • Hyderabad — 12 months • Mumbai — 11.5 months • New Delhi — 10 months • Chennai — 7.5 months • Kolkata — 6.5 months

The better news: student (F/M/J) and work (H/L/O/P/Q) visa appointments are far shorter, and new interview slots open up regularly — keep checking the scheduling system and see if you qualify for an interview waiver.

These are estimates, not guaranteed dates.
