I applied on June 10th for a tourist visa in USA online. I got a biometric letter on June 26th. They acknowledged the receipt of biometric on June 30th and ever since no update from them. I contacted them Aug. 10th, they replied visa is still under processing. I am just confused as why tourist visa is taking this long. 65 days in counting.. Please advice on what to do next. Applied in the USA.

Do you know where their reply came from? NY, LA or Ottawa?
It seems that the visas that are processed in Ottawa are taking a long time.

Probably the background check. Unfortunately nothing you can do but wait.

I was issued a 2yrs tourist visa back in 2016. It expires early this year. I didn't get to go before it expires that is why I applied for renewal.
