U.S. consulates in India are experiencing significant backlogs in non-immigrant visa appointments for H, L and other employment-based non-immigrant visas.

Foreign nationals seeking a non-immigrant visa are facing wait times of 75 to more than 115 days to secure an appointment  in Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi. The delays do not affect B-1/B-2 visitor visas or F-1 student visas.
