ORIGINAL POSTERHello, what is the typical processing time for a non-O visa application?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a non-O visa application varies by country and embassy. Experiences shared by users indicate times ranging from 2 to 17 days. For instance, applicants from the US reported an average of 10 to 15 business days, while those applying from the UK experienced around 12 to 17 days. It is advisable to check specific embassy websites for the most accurate processing times.

Check the website of the embassy you will be applying through. Each embassy has their own processing times.
