The first thing Indian children do after traveling to the US is to apply for visas for their parents and in-laws.
In the article where I talked about my H1b process, I outlined the timeline it took to process my application because of COVID.
Now it's almost 8 months post I came here and the situation for some visas like B2 is still worst where people are struggling to get appointment dates.
And when I did the process, the appointment date I got was 2 years from the current date.
Below is the process and timeline.
