How to Apply for US Visitor Visa: There is bad news for those planning to visit the US. People will have to wait till 2024 for a visitor visa. If you go to the website of the US State Department, you will find that there is a waiting period of one and a half years.

According to the website’s visa page, “Estimated wait times for interview appointments at U.S. embassies or consulates may vary from week to week depending on employees’ workloads.” These are only estimates and do not guarantee the availability of appointments.’

What did the US embassy say about the delay?

On reports of delays, the US Embassy said that the State Department is committed to providing both immigrant and nonimmigrant travelers with valid travel to the US. The US government is taking steps to reduce waiting times and backlogs by working on recruiting and training new employees.

Doubled recruitment

The newly recruited employees are going on their postings in other parts of the world including India.” Earlier, some reports said that visa processing is taking longer for the Schengen states, Canada, and the UK as well.
