GAO HIghlight
The average time to get a visa for entry into the United States for visiting scientists appears to be about three months according to this study. (I assume that many scientists can't wait that long, or simply don't apply.)
The reference above is a short report of a U.S. Government Accounting Office study on the delays involved for scientists and science students in getting U.S. visas. The study is part of the reponse to growing concern about the lack of welcome for foreign scientists and engineers shown by the United States since 9/11.
