After nearly two years of waiting for paperwork to be reviewed by CIS and Department of State and for an appointment at the consulate, my partner received the entry visa and passport in the mail only three days ago. I am truly sorry for anyone who is about to start this process because it will take even longer on top of what is already an inhumanely lengthy amount of time to bring someone into the U.S.
- rwmj 7y agoYes it took me a year to sort out my visa. When I read this news I thought "how will anyone tell the difference?"
- ericmay 7y agoWell, it'll take even longer since they will have a backlog. That would be my guess.
- ipqk 7y agoI applied for Global Entry months after the 2018/2019 government shutdown, and it was still significantly backlogged because of it.
- ukabwlsbeux 7y agoI did too. My in person interview consisted of me showing them my drivers license and verbally confirming my email. Honestly I was pretty pissed that I needed to spend so much time waiting and scheduling around a trip to the office for that.
- kylehotchkiss 7y agoI’m just 2 months behind you, my wife and I were celebrating that we’d be able to live in USA very soon just hours before the embassy announced indefinite suspension of interviews. To make matters worse; they prioritize family visas under student visas sometimes so this delay could easily be many more months for us. And could require us having to fetch fresh documents from a corrupt government as some for the marriage visa have expiration dates.
