Hi , I live abroad on student visa. My passport is with embassy and my student visa expires on February 2021. My case is going through AP and interview was on November 4,2020. I called consular and asked her if I can expect my case completion before my visa expires. She was frustrated and told me I can take my passport and renew student visa. She misunderstood me. I don’t want to pick up my passport. If I don’t go to pick up my passport, you think this inquiry can go against my case decision.? I still have almost 2 months for visa renewal. Did I make mistake to call them ?? I am worried😒 Your answer will be highly appreciated. 🙏🏻

Why would you care about your student visa's expiration if you have an IR-1/CR-1 AP underway..? Are you planning on re-entering the US on a student visa before February 2021?

I have never been in USA. I am living in Russia and my student visa expires. I called US embassy and told her about my visa expiration. And she told me that I can take my passport and renew visa. I haven’t asked for my passport back

Your description is not very clear, but if you need to travel, you will have to retrieve your passport from the embassy.  You won't be able to hurry along any AP by using visas for other countries as the reason.

Hi,

 

It can take months or years to get through AP in Pakistan.  You have no idea when you will get your spousal visa.

 

If you want to renew your Russian student visa, then the US Embassy is letting you know that you have the option to get your passport back.

 

You contacting them about this will not affect your spousal visa.
