Short answer
US visa appointment slots in India are not released on a published public calendar. New availability can appear when posts add capacity or when other applicants cancel or reschedule, so it is hard to predict.
Two ways slots appear
Added capacity can bring several dates at once. Cancellations and reschedules tend to free individual dates at any time of day.
Our trends page shows when openings were recently observed, which can show a pattern but is not a schedule.
How to use this
Decide your acceptable date range first, so you can act quickly when something suitable appears. Remember the one-free-reschedule limit before moving an existing booking.
Common questions
- Is there a fixed time when US visa slots are released in India?
- No public schedule exists. Openings appear irregularly, and any pattern seen in recent data can change.
- Are there announced bulk slot release dates for US visas in India?
- Posts sometimes announce extra capacity, for example ahead of student season, but there is no regular published release calendar. Bulk releases show up as many dates appearing at once; SlotWatch's trends page shows when openings were recently seen.
