How long are you without your passport for US non-immigrant visa?
score:1
Accepted answer
Last time I researched this was about 10 years ago and for an (already approved) H4 visa.
It varied a lot: anywhere between one day and 6 weeks depending on the specific consulate and whatever person in the consulate you talk to. At the time many consulates basically made up their rules "on the fly" and any type of confirmed date was happily ignored by the next officer. You can try calling the consulates (which typically cost money) and you may or may not get accurate or useful information.
Case in point: We had a dire emergency and we had confirmed a same day appointment in Amsterdam. We had also confirmation from the consulate that, this is indeed a same day process. We did confirm this through three independent sources, including two lawyers. However, when my wife showed up there the consular officer refused to put the (already approved!) visa in her passport because, "he is underpaid and overworked" .
Things may be better now, but it's not easy to find out.
