I submitted my application for the non-o retirement visa on March 20. I received a request for verification of funds on March 28. Since then my status has been changed to processing pending approval. I applied online to the New York Embassy. Does it usually take this long, and can I call to check if everything is ok?

Answer summary

After submitting your Non-O retirement visa application on March 20 and receiving a verification request on March 28, your status has now changed to processing pending approval. While the time frame does seem lengthy for this type of application, responses can vary. Other users have reported similar experiences, with some taking up to two months, especially around the holidays. It's advised to contact the New York Embassy for updates or check if any further documentation is pending.

We did a non-o retirement through NY and it took about two months. It was around the holidays, so that slowed it down. No issues with the application, it just took that long.

My Non O at the LA consulate took 3 days recently. They didn't ask for anything additional though. My bank account was just one page that when I log on happens to show 3 months worth of data, interest and a running total on one page. I did add another page that showed my name tied to that account number.

It does seem a long time, particularly for a Non-O application. I'd contact the consulate
