Data Source & Methodology
Wait time data from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs. Visa issuance statistics from the DOS Monthly NIV Issuance reports. VisaPulse aggregates both datasets to provide a comprehensive view of each consular post.
Wait times are estimates and can change rapidly. Emergency and expedite appointments may have different availability. Wait times don't account for administrative processing delays after the interview. Issuance data may lag by 1–2 months.
