Q 3. What is included in the processing time information?
Processing times are calculated from the date that an application is received until the date that the application is finalized.
Q 4. Why are there differences in processing times in different regions or sometimes between offices within the same region?
Visa offices face different challenges operating in different countries, regions and even in different offices within the same region. For example, mail service in some countries and regions may be slower than in others. As a result, the time it takes to process applications varies from office to office.
Q 5. Why are there differences in processing times for different types of applications?
Certain categories of applications, such as those for:
- sponsored spouses;
- partners; and
- dependent children
are processed more quickly than others in order to meet public policy goals such as that of family reunification.
Q 6. If I submit an application today, will these statistics show me the length of time it will take to finalize my application?
Future processing times may not be the same as past processing times. The length of time it takes to finalize applications may vary from time to time.
These tables show the number of days or months that were required to approve or refuse applications at visa offices around the world during a 12-month period in the past.
看起来处理时间是 从接到申请开始算，就是rn！谢天谢地， 但一句话又让人发疯， 即过去的不能代表未来的，就这一句让他们推掉所有责任！再加上 80%这种说法， 多狡猾哈！
