E Visa Processing Time? Hello, this my first time using the full E Visa system for a Tourist Visa. Out of Chicago in Pre Covid days processing time was about 4 days, now I have been in processing for about 8 business days. Is this now normal for Chicago? I know the website says up to 15 business days, just curious as to the current processing time. At least no COE this year!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the processing time for a Tourist E Visa out of Chicago, noting a current wait of 8 business days compared to the pre-Covid average of 4 days. They wonder if the longer processing time is now normal, even though the official timeline indicates up to 15 business days. A commenter suggests checking the status regularly and recommends contacting the consulate via Facebook Messenger for better response rates.
Every consulate is different, so I'm not sure about Chicago. I would definitely keep an eye on your status and e-mail, because if there are any problems or they need additional paperwork, they will e-mail you and you will submit those items back through e-mail.
Usually it's recommended if you want to contact them to do so through Facebook messenger, they tend to respond better that way than trying to call them or email them.
