U.S. Consulate General Chennai — All Visa Wait Times
Scheduled twice-weekly checks of U.S. State Department data
WaitDelta’s scheduled check is overdue. The last completed check was on October 1, 2026 (10 days ago), and the figures on this page were read then. The State Department updates its table monthly, so they may still match its latest publication. Confirm current wait times on travel.state.gov before making booking decisions.

Not published means the U.S. State Department does not currently issue an estimate for that category at that consulate. It does not mean no appointments exist. Withheld is different: it is a WaitDelta verification status, not a statement about the State Department. Check the official table and your consulate's booking portal.
