Your interview at the U.S. Consulate General in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). This is the appointment everyone is competing for.
The U.S. Department of State publishes estimated interview wait times by post. As of its October 2026 update, the published B1/B2 visitor wait for Mumbai was about 12 months — the longest of the five Indian posts. Treat published waits as planning context, not a promise: actual appointment drops happen in bursts and cancellations reopen dates without notice, which is exactly why confirmed community alerts will matter here.
Always verify current figures on the official U.S. Department of State visa wait times page before making travel or resignation decisions.
