Over the past 18 months K1, K3 and IR1/CR1 Visas have taken roughly the same period for US Citizens to petition and for their beneficiary to receive. However once the visa holder arrives in the US the amount of time for processing their Adjustment of Status (AOS) has increased nearly two fold (100 to 200 days on average) since March 2007. If this trend continues application times will only get longer. This increase comes in spite of increased efforts by the USCIS to streamline their processing of Adjustment applications. On a good note, the processing times of Advance Parole and Employment Authorization Documents have remained in check. These documents allow AOS petitioners to work and travel outside the US while their Adjustment application is being processed.

DS-160 (NEW): Coming Soon. The new DS-160, Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, will eventually replace current nonimmigrant application forms DS-156, 157, 158, and other related forms, such as the DS-156E, 156K, and 156V. The roll-out of the new DS-160 will be gradual. Therefore, not all U.S. Embassies and Consulates will be required to use the form at the same time. Learn More. Check back later for an implementation announcement which will appear here. The upcoming announcement will indicate when specific Embassies will require nonimmigrant visa applicants to use the new DS-160.

The new DS-160, Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, is a fully integrated online application form that will be used to collect the necessary application information from persons seeking a nonimmigrant visa. The DS-160 will be submitted electronically to the Department of State via the Internet. Consular Officers will use the information entered on the DS-160 to process the visa application and, combined with a personal interview, will determine an applicant’s eligibility for a nonimmigrant visa.

Important Notice: The new DS-160, Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, is currently being used only at a few selected U.S. Embassy/Consulate locations. An announcement will appear here when the Department of State is closer to full implementation.
