India to United States: US F-1 student visa wait times
This page keeps Indian reader-shared waits separate from the broader US F-1 student visa page, because visa and immigration waits can change by route, origin, consular post, visa office, documents, and interview steps.
US F-1 student visa: admission now follows the program length, capped at four years; use your I-94, I-20, and DSO guidance rather than a single national wait estimate

Read India to United States waits carefully
This page filters reader-shared US F-1 student visa waits by the country the reader applied from. That is not always the same thing as nationality, residence, visa office, consular post, or Green Card chargeability.
Official context may be destination-level or route-level rather than origin-specific.

India applicants who started in the same month
Same-month groups are more useful than comparing every applicant at once.
What Indian applicants should separate
- The country you are applying from.
- The visa office, consular post, or application centre handling the file.
- Your route, stream, category, or priority-date situation.
- Whether your timeline is pre-invitation, post-submission, interview, or final decision.
