B2 Visa Timeline

[tomp2650 0]

Hello all! 

 

My long distance partner recently renewed their B2 visa, and it's been a few weeks since there has been any updates to her application (a little over 3 weeks so far).

 

For context - they live in Tijuana, Mexico, they had an appointment on July 7th, 2025 to take a new picture and drop off their application (I'm unsure if this was considered a dropbox appointment). According to the CEAC status page, the case was created on July 9th, 2025 and the case was last updated on July 24th, 2025 and has been in the "Application Received" status since.

 

They have had a B2 Visa since they were little, and their parents did the application process/renewal for them, however this time they renewed it on their own. They're worried that there could be an issue with the application since it's taking long. 

 

Has anybody experienced a long wait time for these sort of renewals?

Website says 8-10 weeks so I think probably too early to worry. https://mx.usembassy.gov/visas/

 

Good luck.
