How long does LA take to process cases ? Please share your experience. Are they as fast as Detroit or NY ?

Are you asking this because your file transferred to LA? Elaborate a little bit.

 

[OrangeCounty]

Yes, my file got transferred to LA embassy, recently. Not sure if the move should be viewed as positive or negative (or neutral, for that matter). I just want to know what kind of timeline to expect ...

 

[NewYorker]

They transfer the file because to shift their workload, you don't need to worry, sometimes it is more faster than the original post and sometimes it get delayed couple of months as they assign new IO. You can consider this neutral and wait for their next response. Timeline depends on how many months ago you applies and where you are at, if you are waiting for medical than you should expect in 3 months with some document request (PCC), this is just my guess - you can go to trackitt.com to see and compare your case with same applicants whose case were transferred to LA.

LA Consulate is worst, they scrutinize a lot as compare to others.
But dont worry, its not the same always.

Looks like took almost same time as any other consulate, but I do agree they usually call for interview if I am not mistaken.
