Data Distribution

Motivation

Occasional users are asking to show trends. Although there are some stats presented on https://visagrader.com/us-visa-time-slots-availability/india-ind/ we thought it would be a good idea to put that data out there so anyone can play and bring more insights.

Expectations

There is a ton of talent with creative and explorative minds, so we wanted to give them a chance to showcase their skills by playing with the data they are familiar with. If you are a data enthusiastic and want to demystify the most common perception out on the internet that the visa slots will be opened on particular days and times, we have released the most accurate of May - 2022.
