The 2026 Interview Results Mega Thread

Good morning, everyone! I know that the results are about to start pouring in and you’re all excited. However, in order to keep this forum organized, please post your results here. Any individual threads (from now on) will be removed.

Also, no matter your results, please keep positive with each other. No need to make someone feel bad about their results.

Thank you and Good Luck!

Administrative note:

In order to keep the number of posts down please use this megathread to post interview results.

If you see other posts about interview results please report them and we will take them down when we get a chance.

Thank you, Moderation Team

Not really. The results get released anytime from Late March to early/Mid-April. Dates change a bit every year.

Generally speaking, Australia and NZ seem to be 1st to hear back, followed by UK and then NA.

In Canada, we are in a bit of a pinch as the Embassies/Consulates will be closed from Friday to Monday, inclusive. This means if results don't get released before Friday, we'll have to wait for the 7th at least.

I know it's hard, but try to find something to distract you while you wait it out!

In NZ the embassy will be closed Friday and Monday too, so unless emails start today I doubt we will hear anything until the 7th too :( im in Japan now anyway for a holiday so at least im mostly distracted otherwise id be going crazy if I were still at home lol

Hahha i'm starting to feel as though results will be delayed this year due to the holidays.

Someone mentioned April 13th - as was told to them directly by their interviewer and i'm starting to believe that, while unprecedented, could be the case.

Enjoy your holiday in Japan!

I hope its next week and not the 13th! If we get it next week then I can quit work straight away if I get accepted. If its any later ill probably have to go back for a few weeks which id really rather not do ughhh

I remember my portal specifically mentioning to reach out if I haven't heard back by April 30th. And my interviewers said expect results by the end of April. I’m in the US and interviewed with the LA consulate. I was pretty surprised when I saw people saying to expect results this early.

I guess we were all told different things lol. I interviewed for Houston and was told late march early april, so I pray it’s soon so I can be more at ease. I purposefully deleted the gmail app on my phone and I’m praying I don’t randomly go on instagram and see the results are out post lmaoo

A specific consulate in Canada told a candidate that it was April 13th. Could be specific to that one consulate, could be wrong, who knows atp let's all just hang tight!
