What are the non-immigrant visa
processing delay at consulate abroad ???
It obviously takes more time in China
than in France or UK... I would be
especially interested in processing in Germany
since there almost non-immigrant applicants
have to go for interview at consulate.
Any experience/information from any country
is appreciated.
Thanks

This is about two years old, but things probably haven't changed much: a
friend of mine applied for an L-2 visa in Berlin - normally, a mail-only
case. Because his wife wasn't German, they knew there would be an
interview. Still, the consulate told him to send the passport and
application; a denial by mail (took about two weeks) seems to be the only
way to get an appointment for an interview. I think they went to the
interview another two weeks later.

Of course, if you are from one of the security-check countries, then all
bets are off.
