America’s H-1B and H-4 visa interview date postponed, hopes of Indian candidates in trouble
Washington. Clouds of uncertainty are beginning to loom over the hopes of Indians waiting for interviews for H-1B and H-4 visas for America. According to the information, the interview date of these candidates has now been postponed till October 2026. Earlier these interviews were postponed to February and March 2026. Apart from Deccan Chronicle, American media organization American Bazaar has also talked about postponement of interview dates for visa applicants.
After this situation, Indians who had registered for visa interviews in January and February 2026 are canceling their bookings. They hope that after the interview is rescheduled, they will get an earlier date. Let us tell you that in recent weeks, US Consulates informed many applicants that interviews scheduled for December and January have now been postponed to February or even March. According to US officials, this delay is due to the additional processing time required associated with increased social media screening of visa applicants.
Meanwhile, many professionals, who are away from their families, are finding themselves stuck with appointments being repeatedly postponed. He says that his work is also in danger due to this. Immigration lawyers told The American Bazaar that applicants have been shocked by the mass cancellations of appointments. Those whose appointments were initially scheduled for early 2026 are being postponed to the last quarter of 2026.
