US Visa FAQ for Indian passport holders

How long does a US visa take to process for Indian citizens?
The longest step is usually the wait for an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy or a consulate in India. It differs by city and changes often, so check the State Department's current wait times before you plan. Some applications need administrative processing after the interview, which the embassy cannot speed up. Our Priority service prepares your documents faster but does not shorten the embassy's wait.
Do I need to attend an interview for a US visa?
Yes. Almost every B1/B2 applicant attends an in-person interview at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi or a U.S. consulate in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad or Kolkata. Some applicants renewing a B1/B2 visa that was issued in India can qualify to skip the interview, and the official appointment website lists the criteria. We help you prepare with an interview preparation guide tailored to your profile, a mock interview session (VIP plan) and common questions with best answers.
What is the US visa approval rate for Indian citizens?
The overall US visa approval rate for Indian applicants is approximately 80%. With Visarun's expert preparation, our clients achieve a 99% approval rate thanks to thorough document review and interview coaching.
Can I apply for a US visa if I have been rejected before?
Yes, you can reapply after a rejection. We analyze your previous application to identify the reasons for denial and strengthen your new application. Our specialists have successfully helped many previously-rejected applicants secure their visas.
What is the difference between B1 and B2 visas?
  • B1 (Business Visa): For business meetings, conferences, contract negotiations, and professional consultations. - B2 (Tourist Visa): For tourism, vacation, visiting family/friends, and medical treatment. Many applicants receive a combined B1/B2 visa that covers both purposes. We help you choose the right category for your trip.
