F-1 Visa Help

[MAAK94 0]

Hey

I had a student visa interview on 12 October 2011 at Islamabad US embassy and my case was placed for administrative processing and the VO took my passport and documents. After 10 months i received a call form the embassy to give them a new I-20 as the old one has expired. Does this mean i got the visa or they require a new i-20 for administrative processing. If they require it for administrative processing, how long will it take for me to get my visa and passport.

Thank you

It's a good sign they ask for the new I-20, but don't celebrate until you have the visa in hand.
