F-1 Visa Administrative Processing

[Abror 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I applied for a f-1 visa renewal on June 21, 2017, and my application was refused under 221g as I didn't have my I-20 form with me at the time of the interview. I was given a 221g form with a blue slip that said submission of I-20 form required before a decision can be made. So, I delivered the form on June 27, 2017 and I haven't heard back from the Consular Section for over 7 months. Later that week when i contacted the Consular Section, i was told my case is under Administrative Processing. 

 

is there anyone out there who went through a long AP like over 7-8 months?? Any thoughts on ways to make a status inquiry (other than contacting the Consular) that actually helps understand why the process is taking that long?

 

thanks

Yes, many have gone through long ap's. All you can do is wait. Were you given the Ds5535 form at the end of your interview?

Hi Boiler,

 

the first one went very well, only three basic questions were asked, then visa approved. R u in AP too? What's your situation like?
