The US Embassy in Dhaka has announced that it will begin processing all categories of immigrant visa applications within two business days, a move expected to significantly reduce waiting times for prospective immigrants.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the embassy
said the new processing timeline will take effect from Monday.
According to the announcement, the US Embassy
in Dhaka will process applications for all immigrant visa categories within two
working days.
The embassy has encouraged applicants seeking
detailed information about specific visa categories to consult its Directory of
Visa Categories and review the “Immigrant Visa Categories” section for
eligibility requirements and application procedures.
The initiative is expected to provide
substantial relief to visa applicants who have faced lengthy processing delays
in recent years, according to observers familiar with immigration matters.
The embassy said the streamlined process is
intended to improve efficiency and facilitate faster service for individuals
seeking to immigrate to the United States.
