Early travel planning and visa application are important. If you are planning to apply for a nonimmigrant visa to come to the United States as a temporary visitor, please use the tool below to find out the current wait time for an interview.
Wait Time for Interview
Estimated wait times for an interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate may change weekly and are based on actual workload and staffing. These are estimates only and do not guarantee the availability of an appointment. Waiting times for interview waiver applications refer to the average number of days between acceptance of an interview waiver application and its processing by a consular officer; this does not include the time required to mail passports or other documents.
Qualifications for an Expedited Interview Appointment
Overseas consular sections may be able to expedite your interview appointment if there is an urgent, unforeseen situation, such as a funeral, medical emergency, or school start date. The process for requesting an expedited interview for a non-immigrant visa varies by location. Follow the instructions on the website of the visa section of the embassy or consulate where you wish to make an appointment, or on their website for making an appointment. You must provide proof that you need an earlier appointment. In all cases:
You must first submit the online visa application form (DS -160), pay the application fee, and make the first available interview appointment.
Only then will a consular section review your application for an expedited appointment.
TN visas are much easier to get but they carry most of the restrictions of other work visas in that you cannot work for anyone save the person who supplied your employment offer.
