About B1/B2 wait times
B1/B2 is the workhorse non-immigrant category — short business trips, family visits, tourism, medical travel. Roughly 80% of the global non-immigrant visa volume runs through this lane. Backlogs swing seasonally and politically: a single staffing shortfall at a busy post (Mumbai, São Paulo, Mexico City) can push appointments past the 365-day mark. Numbers below are the State Department's own published next-available appointment, refreshed daily.
