The Problem We Solve
The US State Department publishes official visa wait times — but in a format that is barely usable. No history. No trends. No comparison between consulates. No context for what the numbers actually mean for your timeline.
Indian applicants — among the largest groups of US visa applicants in the world — were making critical timing decisions based on outdated spreadsheets, Reddit threads, and word of mouth. WaitDelta was built to fix that.
How Our Data Works
01
Source
We pull directly from the US State Department's Global Visa Wait Times tool — the same source consular officers reference.
02
Scrape
Our automated pipeline runs daily at 02:00 UTC, fetching current wait times for all 5 Indian consulates across every tracked visa type.
03
Store
Every data point is timestamped and stored — building a historical record that does not exist anywhere else.
04
Publish
Pages update within minutes of each scrape run. You see today's number, not last week's.
Who Builds WaitDelta
Builder & Growth Strategist
Created WaitDelta to solve a real problem — and because the data gap was too obvious to ignore.

Phase 1 covers the US — all five Indian consulates, four visa types, daily updates. Phase 2 will expand to UK, Canada, and Schengen visa wait times, bringing the same real-time intelligence to every major destination Indian applicants care about.
