Ambassador Virginia E. Palmer: Hello!
I have some good news I want to share.
The current wait time for nonimmigrant visa appointments is now less than six months, that’s down from nearly two and a half years
when I arrived earlier this year.
That’s still too long but we’re taking steps to continue to reduce wait times, particularly for renewals.
We’ve also worked hard to ensure that students got expedited
visa appointments before the start of classes this year and we processed
a record seven thousand student visa cases in the last 12 months alone.
That’s seventy percent more than our previous record!
In total, we have processed over 32,000 visa applications in the past year.
We are continuing to work to reduce the backlog and wait times.
I know many of you are also concerned about long wait times for immigrant visas.
The Consul General and I are both married to immigrants so we have been through the process of waiting to begin a new life together in America.
You can be assured reducing wait times for immigrant visas is very much on our minds.
We’ll keep working to reduce the backlogs…
Now, back to work!
Medaase.
