Thanks,

Knowing that it usuallly takes months to get a visa, I am curious to know when he applied and when he received his visa.

Or did he get expedited service?

Here is the NYT source:

“Mr. Duncan worked at a shipping company in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, but quit his job in early September. Neighbors said he had gotten a visa to visit family in the United States.”

So the timeline is VISA “early Septetmber”, exposed on the 15th, travel on the 19th, arrival on the 20th, checked in hospital on the 28th.
