Interview wait times updated March 2026
What are the current visa interview wait times at Embassy Nicosia?
Reading the spread. U.S. consular officers schedule interviews against available officer-hours at each post, so long waits often reflect workforce constraints, seasonal demand surges, or bilateral relationship factors rather than case-specific issues. Applicants should always cross-check travel.state.gov for the current snapshot, and, for petition-based workers, pair these interview-wait numbers with I-129 USCIS processing times to understand the full door-to-door timeline.

This snapshot does not publish a B1/B2 average for Embassy Nicosia. Employment (H/L/O/P/Q) next-available is < 0.5 Month (8 days), in the short band (≤15 days). Use the category cards above for student/crew rows when present; the missing visitor average is a State Department publication gap, not a zero wait.
Petition-based workers still need I-129 USCIS time before booking.
Visitor and employment appointment horizon
The published next-available B1/B2 and H/L/O/P/Q appointments at Embassy Nicosia sit within two weeks of one another on this snapshot. That is a useful scheduling comparison, but the categories remain separate queues and neither figure predicts a visa decision or later administrative processing.
About This Data
Interview wait-time data is published by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs on its global visa wait-times tool. Wait figures reflect the current interview-scheduling backlog at each post and are updated monthly. Actual visa issuance may require additional administrative processing time.
