E2 Visa Processing Time for Investors

Thinking about the E2 visa? If so, the E2 visa processing time is likely one of the crucial elements in your journey.

What Affects E2 Visa Processing Time?

Processing times change based on the time of year, the amount of applications that come in during the time you apply, the country, the consulate/embassy within that country, your application and other factors well outside of your or your attorney’s control.

What Is the Timeline for an E2 Visa?

That said, the E2 visa processing times are considerably shorter than many other types of visas.  As a general rule of thumb, you should plan on waiting 3-6 weeks after you apply for the visa to get the interview date and another 1-2 weeks after notification to have the actual interview itself.  The great news is that in more than 90% of the cases, you will know whether you are approved or denied for the visa at the interview.  No more waiting!
