    The immigration application processing time depends on the type of visa you applied for and your nationality. I am from Australia and have applied for different US visa types. I got my tourist visa in a few hours, while my H1B visa takes six months to process. Once the interview is complete, you can expect to receive your passport within one week.

    There is no fixed time for immigration applications in the USA. It may take a couple of days to a couple of months or a fortnight. Once your visa is approved, it needs to be printed, attached to your passport, and couriered for the remaining administrative process. Allowing a week or two is sufficient to wait for your immigration application once it is received. Additionally, currently, there is not so much of a rush these days.

    Currently, the USA immigration visa process typically takes 18 months or more, during which the applicant must wait for an appointment for an immigrant visa. USCIS adjusts immigrant visa petitions; in reality, it is the consular officer who issues the immigrant visas to the applicants, not USCIS

    Once a US visa is approved, it generally takes 3 to 5 working days for the visa to be issued and attached to your passport. Pickup or delivery of the US visa can take a few more days. So, the total time from visa approval to receiving the visa is generally 1 to 3 weeks.
