TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the processing time for a non-immigrant O visa application submitted to the Los Angeles consulate. Respondents indicated that processing can take time, often aligning with the posted duration on the consulate's website. Specific experiences shared suggest that typical processing might take around 15 business days, not accounting for holidays. One commenter further mentioned their personal experience with a different type of visa, which took a total of 22 business days due to additional requests for information.

I applied for my DTV on Jan 20th 2025. It took 15 total business days then they asked for more information and after 5 more business days I received the Visa.

That included 2 holidays too so the total was 22 business days.

Just for context.

That consulate is FAMOUS for taking as long as they have posted on the website for the eVisa processing

So going by that, IF you applied April 3rd (not counting holidays OR weekends) your application has been processing a total of SIX days

That means (because the 14th and 15th are holidays) it wouldn't be until the 26th when your application process would be at 15 business days
