How long will it take to process my application? (Timelines)
This is probably the most frequently asked question, mostly because there is no real answer. Every visa office has a different time frame. If you fill out and supply all of the forms correctly, you may be processed at some visa offices in as little as a few months. If the background check is an issue, it can take as long as a few years.
Every missing document in your application will delay the processing by several weeks, sometimes months. Copies that are hard to read will cause even more delay. It is not unheard of the whole application being returned because one! question was not answered. There is no really simple answer to this question! It is a question of how you file and where you file.
