Faced with astronomical visa wait times in India spanning over a year in major cities, the US has opened a special visa processing window at its Frankfurt consulate. Appointment wait times in Indian consulates range from 441 days in Hyderabad to over 600 days in Kolkata. However, the US consulate in Frankfurt is offering visa interviews to Indians within just 3 days. The move aims to provide faster visa services by bypassing the severe backlog in India due to overwhelming demand. Indians can now opt for the Germany route to expedite their US visa rather than wait endlessly in India.
