H1B Visa Appointment Crisis: 3+ Months, Zero Availability

Hi,

I wanted to check in with the community because this situation has been weighing on me and I’m sure many of you are going through the same thing.

For the past 100 days, there have been virtually no H1B visa appointment slots available. I’ve been actively tracking multiple Telegram channels, checking updates at odd hours, and trying every possible workaround people suggest, but still no luck. It feels like a constant cycle of hope and disappointment.

What makes it harder is the uncertainty. There’s no clear communication, no predictable pattern, and no timeline to plan around. It affects not just travel plans, but work, family commitments, and peace of mind. Being stuck in this kind of limbo is honestly exhausting.

Earlier atlasest we had other country options like canada, Mexico etc. But that doors also shut down.

Does anyone have any insight into whether this backlog might ease anytime soon? Is there any expectation that things will improve in the coming weeks or months?

Appreciate any input 🙏
