What This Page Shows
Some locations improve because scheduling pressure eases, conditions stabilize, or recent country-level context becomes less restrictive relative to demand. This page focuses on locations with recent downward movement and adds simple country-level context to help interpret those changes.
How to Read the “Why” Column
The explanation shown for each location is not a definitive cause. It is a context layer based on current country-level demand tiers and refusal-rate patterns, combined with the fact that the location’s wait time is moving lower.
Why Falling Wait Times Matter
A location that is actively improving may matter more than one that simply looks better today. Recent downward movement can be an important signal for users deciding whether timing or location options are becoming more favorable.
