What this does not tell you

There is no wait time here. These are visas issued, and issuance is limited by annual numerical caps and by staffing rather than by how many people are waiting. The number of people in the queue at this post is not published, so any wait calculated from these figures would be a guess dressed as a fact.

For appointment availability and local instructions, use the post's own site. For when a priority date becomes current, use the visa bulletin.
