You will not have to wait long to get a US visa, America has been ‘kind’ to Indians! Read full news

US Visa Processing Time for Indians: The delay in getting America’s visa is about to reduce. The US Embassy in New Delhi and US Consulates located in Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad are open today i.e. Saturday (7 December). Those who want to give visa interview can go here and give it. Even before this, such ‘Super Saturdays’ were organized in January this year. This step is being taken by America so that the visa processing time can be reduced.
The US Embassy said in a statement, as the number of people traveling between India and America is increasing, the processing time for visas is also increasing. This is the reason why an initiative named ‘Super Saturday’ has been started. If you are not able to go for the visa interview this Saturday then there is no need to panic. There is full hope that next week too there may be a ‘Super Saturday’ on Saturday, when you can get a visa by going to the embassy and giving a visa interview.

How much waiting time at which embassy?

Getting a US visa has become a very difficult task for Indians. The waiting time for visa interview is more than a year. Different cities have different waiting times for B1/B2 visas. Highest in Chennai, where the waiting time is 499 days. In Kolkata one has to wait for 444 days. It is taking 430 days in Mumbai and around 435 days in Delhi and Hyderabad. Because of this, those studying or working in America have to wait for a long time.

Steps taken to reduce visa processing time

America has also taken several steps in view of the increasing number of people applying for visas. The facility to skip the interview has also been started for people who have already obtained American visa. In this way, they will not have to come for interview again to get a fresh visa. More officers are also being appointed in embassies and consulates. With this the work will be done faster and people will be able to get visa quickly.
