Unexpected delays in visa processing can be a source of significant stress and uncertainty for individuals and families. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, we understand your concerns and are committed to providing the guidance needed to navigate these challenges. Recent shifts in immigration policies can lead to disruptions and delays in visa processing. In this guide, we discuss how to handle these setbacks and ensure a smooth and timely resolution.
Here are the key points to keep in mind when facing a processing delay:
Understand the Cause: Identify if the delay is due to a general backlog, a specific issue with your application, or broader policy shifts.
Maintain Valid Status: Ensure you do not fall out of legal status while your application is pending.
Communicate Effectively: Know when and how to make inquiries with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or other agencies.
Explore All Options: Consider alternative paths or solutions with the help of An experienced attorney.
What should I do if my visa application is delayed?
Discovering that your application is taking longer than the standard processing time can be alarming. The first step is to remain calm and proactive. You can check the status of your case online using the receipt number provided by USCIS. If the processing time has moved beyond the posted estimate for your specific form and service center, it may be time to take action.
An experienced attorney can help you file a formal inquiry with USCIS to request an update. This action signals that you are actively monitoring your case and require information on its status. It is also vital to review your original application to ensure no errors or omissions could have triggered a Request for Evidence (RFE), which can add months to the timeline.
How can I expedite my visa process?
While most applications are processed in the order they are received, USCIS does allow for expedite requests under specific, limited circumstances. Simply wanting a faster decision is not enough. You must provide evidence to support your request, which may be granted for reasons such as:
- Severe financial loss to a company or person.
- Urgent humanitarian reasons.
- A compelling U.S. government interest.
- Clear USCIS error.
Filing an expedite request is a delicate process that requires a compelling and well-documented argument. An immigration attorney can help you assess whether your situation meets the strict criteria and prepare a persuasive request on your behalf. For additional information on your rights and options during a delay, you can consult resources like the USCIS website.

Kevin Raica literally saved my life. He helped me out of a dangerous situation that my previous attorney had put me in. After 17 years without status and 6.5 years of working with my previous attorney, I had experienced so many denials that I had completely lost hope. When I met Kevin, everything changed. He genuinely cared about my situation and gave me hope when I couldn’t see any for…

I would like to sincerely thank Attorney Justin Burton and PL Kamila Lada for support with my adjustment of status case. I have been working with the firm for over a year now, and I have received nothing short of exceptional services and support throughout various cases for myself and family members. Highly recommend consulting and retaining this firm.
We have been in the dark with our case for over 2 decades, while working with other big firms who just kept me in the dark and sat on our case without making any effort to move it forward until I met the wonderful team at Kriezelman & Burton. AO and JP are truly God-sent angels who with their knowledge, collaboration, sense of direction and outside the box thinking, managed…
Highly recommend attorney Kevin Raica and attorney Agata Bigdanowicz. They were super helpful, responded on time, and won my case in record time. It took about a month and half in total for me to get my approval after filing!
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step. Their work ethic was impressive. It felt like they were an extension of my personal team. I can't say enough to convey my gratitude…
Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to Brittni Rivera! She literally saved my family. We had been waiting seven years for what she accomplished in just three weeks. I was impressed by how accessible the office is—they always answer calls very quickly. A special thank you to paralegal Nataliia Melnyk. You are my heroes. Thank you.
