Usually, it takes 4 to 6 days to process at the immigration office but because of the new regulations, I know for a fact, they are swamped with applications from schools trying to beat the deadline.
So in answer to your question, I have no idea how long it will take at the moment. |

They are saying currently: 4-10 WORKING days to process an application (positive or negative response). There may be a higher level of rejections in the short term as applications may be incomplete to meet the new requirements.
They expect no real change in processing times because the documents will all be certified / apositled BEFORE they get them.
The delays will come in the pre-application stage when people are waiting for documentation for submission.

Does anyone know if my application was submitted by the school for my visa before the Dec 15 deadline, but my issuance number was issued after what all I need to submit? When I fill out the application form and pay the fee, do I have to submit a background check and health check with that information? I am not sure and since I am currently at work and dont have a chance to call the consulate that I will need to submit the info to, I figured I would ask on here.
Thanks!!
