Hi everyone, I am currently waiting for my COE and would like to share my timeline in the hope that it will help others who are waiting. I would be happy to hear from anyone who applied at the same time to compare processing times.
Also, I would like to know if immigration works on a daily basis,
for example, if applications are processed and approved COE on the 22nd, Next are they will be processed on the 23rd???
Format:
• Application Office:
• Application Date:

• Visa Type: HSP, Engineer, Consultant, BMV, Spouse/Dependent, etc.
• Request for more information:
