If you’re planning a trip to the U.S. from Kolkata, prepare for a wait of up to 499 days for B1/B2 visas. Although the U.S. processed a record-breaking 1.4 million Indian visas in 2023 and cut wait times by 75%, wait times for B1/B2 visas in Kolkata remain high. Kolkata’s consulate holds the longest wait, followed by Chennai (486 days), and other consulates with similar backlogs.
The shorter waits of 13-14 days for Interview Waiver visas may offer relief for some applicants. Processing times for Third Country National visas are also lengthy, with 332-day waits in Abu Dhabi and 289 in Dubai.
The B1 visa permits travel for business purposes, while the B2 visa is for tourism, family visits, and non-compensated social events. These visas are often issued as a combined B1/B2 visa, allowing for both business and leisure activities during U.S. stays.
