Just want to share for everyones info/expectations. I am in the US, submitted eVisa application for non-O to the Chicago office on 2/14. All documents in order and no requests for additional info. Just received my approved visa today, 3/14. One month for the processing. Good thing too, my flight is Sunday 3/17.

That took a very long time. Last year I received my OA visa in about 10 days.

I thought your flight was the 26th? Either way, I’m glad you finally got your visa.
