Hello! I'm an American who has a non-immigration work visa. My flight is in four days and I'm currently waiting for the COE from Washington. Does anyone have any insight on how long the process of obtaining the COE is? I already have my asq, insurance, flight, etc.

Holidays everywhere. If anything is a manual process - it will be delayed.

I submitted my COE application electronically to the LA Consulate at 6:00am and received my COE via email at noon.

COE should be emailed to you quickly. They say 48 hours, I've seen people get it in 1-2 hours before.

Call in the morning. It's a pain to get though, but eventually you will.

Once you've uploaded all the required docs, COE usually is emailed within a day or 2
