Visa wait times
Advance travel planning and early visa application are important,
since visa applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny
than in the past. If you plan to apply for a nonimmigrant visa to
come to the United States, we know you'd like to estimate how long
you will have to wait to get an interview appointment to apply for
a visa.
Please note that a small percentage of visa applications require
additional special clearances or administrative processing. Most
special clearances are resolved within 30 days of application. When
additional special clearances or administrative processing is required,
the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case.
Please note that processing times do not include courier handling
and delivery timeframes, as these are not controlled by the Consulate
General.
We encourage you to apply as early as possible, in order to receive
your visa and passport back in time to make your trip.
Average Wait Time for a Nonimmigrant Visa To Be Processed: several
workdays.
For information about the visa wait times for the U.S. Consulate
General in Vladivostok and other U.S. Embassies or Consulates General
in the rest of the world, go to the State
Department Visa Wait Times page and select the city of your
choice.
