The U.S. Consulate in Kolkata currently has the shortest wait time for B1/B2 visas in India, at just 24 days. This is significantly faster than other consulates, where wait times range from 386 days in Delhi to 477 days in Chennai. Despite efforts to reduce visa wait times, including processing a record 1.4 million visas for Indians in 2023 and cutting wait times by 75%, delays persist. Travelers needing visas for business or tourism may find Kolkata to be the quickest option in the country.
