Non- Immigrant Visas

How long will it take to get my visa?

All visa applicants should apply at least three weeks in advance of their anticipated travel.

Approved applicants will be told when they may pick up their passports. The Consular Section attempts to make visas ready within 2 business days; however, applicants must not/not wait until the last moment to apply. Appicants should not purchase plane tickets or make irrevocable travel plans before obtaining a visa. In some cases visa applications requiring special processing can take several weeks. The Consular Section is not able to provide same-day visa service.
