Global Visa Wait Times

Last updated: 4-19-2024

The estimated wait time to receive an interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate can change weekly and is based on actual incoming workload and staffing. These are estimates only and do not guarantee the availability of an appointment.

Note: Embassies and Consulates may have a separate process for visa cases where the in-person interview requirement is waived.  In general wait times for those cases are shorter, but they are not reflected in the table below.  Please check the individual Embassy or Consulate website to determine if your case is eligible for a waiver of the in-person interview. 

Applicants scheduling visa appointments in a location different from their place of residence should check post websites for nonresident wait times.

We have received your email and will respond accordingly within 1 to 2 business days. The details are as follows:

Then, I received this email.

So, has my k-1 application been transferred to Bucharest?   I wanted to transfer both the medical exam and interview to Bucharest - has this been approved?

I have alerted the moderators, they will edit your post to remove personal info.

As to your question, no, it doesn’t appear that your case is transferred. US travel docs help desk does not deal with that, it just simply changes the portal country so you can pay a fee or fill out DS-160. What you need is the Immigrant Visa Unit to state they accepted or rejected your request. Usually their emails end with @state.gov and not ustraveldocs.   

There’s a consulate page here on VJ for Bucharest and it has listed different a email address that does end with state.gov, perhaps you should try to reach out there:

is there a way for me to delete my first post

Select here to learn more about an important update on waivers of the interview requirements of certain nonimmigrant visa applicants.

All receipts for payment of Machine-Readable Visa (MRV) fees issued before October 1, 2022, expired September 30, 2023. There will be no extensions of fee validity. Applicants must have scheduled an appointment or submitted an interview waiver application before September 30, 2023 to avoid paying a new fee. If you paid the MRV fee on or after October 1, 2022, you must have scheduled the appointment within one year of your MRV payment date. Please note that the interview itself does not need to take place within one year, but an interview appointment needs to be made in the system, even if it is scheduled months into the future. Furthermore, applicants using MRV fees paid before October 1, 2022 to book an appointment are cautioned not to attempt to change their appointment dates on or after October 1, 2023. Doing so will result in forfeiture of both the original appointment slot and the MRV fee receipt. The applicant will be required to pay a new fee and submit a new application package.

All nonimmigrant visa application fee (also known as the MRV fee) payments made on or after October 1, 2022, are valid for 365 days from the date a receipt is issued for payment of the MRV fee. Applicants must schedule an interview appointment or submit an interview waiver application during this 365-day period. Please note applicants must only schedule their interview or submit their waiver application within the 365-day period. There is no requirement the interview must occur during the 365-day period. All receipts for payment of MRV fees issued before October 1, 2022, were extended until September 30, 2023, and remain valid until this date.

Welcome to the U.S. Visa Information Service for the Philippines. On this website you can find information about U.S. immigrant and nonimmigrant visas and the requirements to apply for each. You can also learn how to pay the required visa application fee, and book an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.
