Visa Processing Times & Arrival in the United States

If you plan to leave the U.S. to apply for a new or replacement F or J Visa, you must account for visa interview wait times and visa processing time frames, which varies by U.S. embassy/consulate. Delays in Visa processing are frequent and breaks between semesters or recesses within semesters may not allow you enough time to receive your Visa before resuming classes in the U.S. If you are unable to arrive to the United States on or before the date that you resume your classes, contact ISS immediately.
