Nepal Visa Appointment FAQs

How should consular wait times for Nepal be interpreted?

Published wait times reflect weekly rolling averages reported by the State Department for standard nonimmigrant appointment slots. Because appointments are released in tranches and cancellation openings occur dynamically, real-time availability on the official booking portal can vary.

How do emergency or expedited appointment requests work?

Each U.S. embassy and consulate maintains an emergency appointment procedure for urgent, unforeseen travel (such as urgent medical treatment, unexpected death of an immediate family member, or urgent business travel). Expedite requests are evaluated individually by consular officers.

Does appointment wait time affect the likelihood of visa issuance?

No. Appointment wait times reflect post operational capacity and scheduling demand only. Consular officers adjudicate applications strictly based on eligibility under U.S. immigration law.
