NIV Status Check

Most qualified applicants receive their visas in two to four business days. A few require administrative processing which may take as much as 120 days or more. This processing is completed in Washington D.C. and can neither be waived nor expedited. We follow up on cases every 30 days and we check every day for cases that have been returned to us for processing. Please check our website for updates on the status of your case.
