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.

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…
Huge thanks to Attorney Matthew for his incredible support on our immigration case! 🙏 He was professional, responsive, and his expertise led to a successful outcome. We truly appreciate his hard work and highly recommend his service.
I’m deeply grateful to God for leading us to this law firm; it is a true blessing to work with such professional and passionate individuals. Their dedication and commitment help make a difficult situation far less traumatic. In our case, we received 100% support from Attorney Andrea Ochoa and paralegal Rafael. May God bless them and allow them to continue this wonderful work. Thank you—a thousand thanks.
I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
Highly recommend Jennifer Peyton in federal litigations. She’s very polite and experienced.
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
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…
