Time span from pink to VISA

[Kim-saru]

I know that this has been asked many times before, but was just wondering how long it takes from the day of her interview and she gets her pink, when she can get the VISA in her hand.

 

I would love to be there on the day of her interview and fly back with her.

 

Thanks

Basically, if there are no problems, then 2 to 3 business days. If there are problems, 3 days to 5 months.

in most cases it is only 2-3 business days, however sometimes it can be delayed for up to 2 weeks. good luck!

Just a suggestion. If possible go over for two weeks. Plan so that you can attend ACH at the consulate right before the interview. If all goes well there should be enough time left to get everything set up to get her a ticket and come back with her.

Many of us who interviewed right before Chinese New Year sweated this out recently. In our case we interviewed on Wednesday the 21st with the impending prolonged closure for the holiday coming on the 23rd. We did, in fact, get our visa the 23rd.

 

When we went to bed on the 22nd around 11, EMS still showed no activity on our number but when we awoke on the 23rd it listed it as delivered at 7:30 the previous night. So if you go to bed on day 2 with nothing showing on EMS it may still show up in the AM.

 

Good luck.
