Applied for METV(multi entry tourist visa) in USA washinton DC 3 weeks ago and no change in status. No response to email sent one week ago. Anyone recently applied? Does it usually take more than a month to complete the processing?

Answer summary

A user inquired about the processing time for their METV application submitted in Washington, DC, three weeks earlier, noting a lack of response to their emails. Community comments revealed mixed experiences with processing times, with some receiving their visas in around three weeks, while others reported waiting longer. Factors like high application volumes due to changes in visa policies were mentioned as contributing to delays, with some suggesting processing might take 4 to 5 weeks currently.

I applied October 11 in NY for SETV - waiting on decision.

It's almost as though they failed to anticipate increased volume of applications when they changed the visa free period .🤔

It's high season so applications are taking longer plus more applications are being received due to changes in the visa exempt policy. It appears to be taking 4 or 5 weeks currently via Washington
