In a significant move, the US Embassy in Pakistan has reduced the appointment wait times for various visa categories, bringing relief to thousands of applicants. The wait time has been cut from 440 days to 230 days, making it easier and faster for Pakistanis to apply for US visas.
This initiative aims to streamline the visa application process, benefiting applicants seeking student visas, business visas, family reunion visas, and more. The embassy has implemented several measures to expedite visa wait times, including a system for reviewing cases through email for applicants who have already submitted their visa applications.
The goal is to reduce the wait time to the minimum possible, with the embassy continually expanding and improving its process to further reduce wait times. The increased demand for US visas in Pakistan has led to a surge in applications, with the embassy receiving and processing around 10,000 applications per month in Islamabad and Karachi.
The embassy official emphasized that they are working diligently to handle the increased demand and facilitate as many applicants as possible. The standard application fee applies globally, with no additional fees for the expedited process.
This reduction in wait times is a welcome move for Pakistanis seeking to travel to the US for various purposes. It is expected to have a positive impact on education, business, and cultural exchange between the two countries.
