Visas In Hand - The List

Ahmed & Sue · June 27, 2008

From what I have seen, there is no "average time" for MENA SO's. It seems to differ depending on each individual case. You can add it all up and come up with a number, but what I think you are looking for is a time frame cases are processed through the embassy. From what I have seen, there is a wide range of variances.
