I have been waiting for almost 11 months now for my business visa to Libya. My office in Libya has submitted the application twice to no avail. Other colleagues have gotten their visas in less then 2 days. While my applications have not been denied, they just end up "pending". I even drove myself down to the embassy here in Dubai and tried to sort it out. They said some Americans had received visas, but not many. There are rumors that things should change in the coming months. I believe the USA needs to appoint an ambassador for Libya as well as start actually issuing US visas for Libyans. Currently, Libyans have to go to other embassies in the region to obtain visas. If anyone else can update us on this, it would be much appreciated.
