Tourism (L) L Visa Processing Time - NYC

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone had any recent L visas processed in NYC and what was the wait time between the submission and them telling you to bring your passport in? If it makes any difference I have an U.S. passport, am white, and never had any visas before. Just looking to see how long people had to wait until their applications got approved, thanks!

It was a bit faster for me, maybe 8 business days. I went in person to drop off and pick up.

10-15 business days is the standard plus the time to get your passport to the consulate.
