Recent changes in U.S. visa laws and regulations have increased
the amount of time it can take to get a visa. Stricter security
measures require more thorough checks and lengthen the visa
application process but ensure the safety of visitors and
U.S. citizens alike.
Even with significant improvements being made in speeding
up visa processing, it is inevitable that delays will sometimes
occur. Processing times will vary. Please contact your nearest
embassy or consulate for a current time estimate and planning
recommendations.
We encourage you to apply early!
If you require a letter of invitation or need more information
