Description

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congress & the Dept. of State initiated changes to the visa process to increase security, but these changes also increased the amount of time needed to adjudicate a visa. Although maintaining security is of paramount importance, State has acknowledged that long waits for visas may discourage legitimate travel to the U.S., potentially costing the country billions of dollars over time, & adversely influencing foreign citizens’ opinions of our nation. A number of consular posts had long visa interview wait times. This report examines: (1) State’s data on visa interview wait times; (2) actions State has taken to address wait times; & (3) State’s strategy for dealing with projected growth in visa demand. Charts & tables.
