The State Department has launched the Immigrant Visa (IV) Scheduling Status Tool to give visa applicants an idea of when to expect their immigrant visa interview.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Further guidance on how to use and interpret the IV Tool, interview preparation, expediting a visa application and other information can be found on the State Department’s IV Tool page.
The State Department has also updated its Global Visa Wait Times page with additional information on the average time nonimmigrant visa applicants waited for an interview in the previous month and included a filter tool to more easily access information by desired city/post, visa classification and other categories. Excerpts from the latest global visa wait times as of April 25, 2025, of some of the city/posts with the most visa issuances can be found here.
