U.S. Visa Policy


Orlando Immigration Attorney, providing experienced immigration legal services in Orlando, and the Central Florida area.


U.S. immigration laws enacted by Congress provide authority over immigration matters, including entry and exit of all travelers across the nation’s borders, determining who may enter, how long they may stay, and when they must leave.  The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) in Title 8 of the United States Code, provides the foundation for immigration law, along with its amendments.

Additionally, more recent immigration laws have an impact on visa processing, including, as examples, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002. To be well informed of U.S. Visa Policy and Immigration Laws, contact Bill Rivera, an experienced Orlando and Central Florida Immigration Lawyer, by calling 407.536.7123.

Recent changes in U.S. laws governing visa policy and procedures have increased the amount of time it can take to obtain a visa. Even with the visa processing improvements that have been made and will continue to be made, it is inevitable that delays will sometimes occur. Processing times will vary.

The State Department's goal is visa delivery no more than 30 days from the time of application in most cases, although cases that require administrative processing could take longer.  Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of application.

When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Therefore, before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants or their representatives will need to wait at least 90 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.
