Hi All, so my fiance's interview was approved! I just want to know how long does it take for the visa to come in hand? His visa pick up location is in Chandigarh and the paper says 3-5 working days; however, it's been 5 days now and still nothing...

any responses would be appreciated. Thanks

It takes 7-10 days. You should get it in the next 3-5 days. Also, don't forget to pick up the yellow sealed envelope when you go collect your passport with the visa, you need to show the sealed yellow envelope at the point of entry in US. The yellow sealed envelope will have a little cut on the side. It's normal for the packet to have a little cut, so don't panic. In my case they forgot to give me the envelope and guys didn't know that there was an envelope to be given with K-1 visas. they said it's only given for immigrant visas. So i argued and asked them to return my passport and return it back to me when the envelope is ready to pickup. It took another 3 days for them to return with passport with K-1 visa and the yellow sealed envelope. Best of Luck !!

Thank you so much for your response! How was it coming into the US? I am estimating how long it would take for him to leave JFK after his arrival into the US... If his flight lands at 8am, you think I should be at the airport around 10? Just a bit confused on how long the process takes.
