TLDR : Answer Summary
Various users shared their experiences applying for a DTV visa through different U.S. embassies. Processing times varied significantly, ranging from as quick as 5 days (LA office) to about 3-4 weeks (NY and DC offices). Some applications required additional documentation, which affected the overall timeline.

I will add for reference. Both myself and a friend went through NY end of 2024. Took about 3-4 weeks then. Another friend who fiked thru DC end of Jan took 3 weeks.

Each consulate in the US is different. You need to say which one you are using.

I applied with the DC embassy because I'm in SC and it took 7 days for approval. There are a lot of posts from the DC and LA embassy.
