*Calendar days refer to every day of the week, including days when embassies are closed (such as weekends and holidays).

*** The All Other Nonimmigrant Visa wait time DOES NOT include K or V visa applications, which are processed similar to immigrant visas. A and G applications are excluded from these wait times, as they are processed separately.

****IMPORTANT NOTE: Processing wait time DOES NOT include the time required for additional special clearance or administrative processing. These procedures require additional time.

Processing wait time also does not include the time required to return the passport to applicants, by either courier services or the local mail system.

Yup. There is no info on there about immigrant visas. It sucks big time. This is why VJ rocks because we have folks who have gone/are going through it and they share their experiences with the rest of us.
