They will reach out soon. It would be appropriate that you inform about delay to your school, as Pakistan use to face delays in visa applications. But hope for the best embassy will contact you soon it won't take much longer now.

I did mention about the school in my last email. I will probably send another email very soon again, seeing as how my 60th day is around the corner. I'm a bit concerned because most cases I've read about either take LESS than 60 days or more than a year.

today i got a call from embassy that they have not got any documents (which was a ###### lie) I send them the same forwarded email that i send them on 17th of june... then they say that ohh i have to send the resume as well that was a total bull they have not mentioned that on the 221g letter as well as on the time of the interview......they are just trying to make some lame excuse.... I give up i quit.

only beacon of hope was my phd ....this whole processing has took 2 years of my life and ... no my whole life has stuck because of some idiot bureaucrat who is lie through their ###### teeth....I give up with this ...i quit with my life

Hey.. I know this is old but, what was the conclusion of your case? Did you eventually get the visa?

I regularly reminded them of my case and received the same generic answer. Also, I contacted an immigration attorney, who reached out the US Department of State and they told him that they will enquire with the US embassy in Turkey and that I should contact them as well. I did that again, and still got the same answer (that I have to wait and wait). Finally I sent them two letters, one from my supervisor who clearly pointed out the focus of his research (that he wasn't making explosives or biological weapons) and why he needs me, and one from the international office of the university. This time, they told me that I shouldn't have sent them those documents, because I wasn't asked to. This made me think that my case was lost or ignored forever. So I wouldn't say they would approve me. Even if they did, it would probably be like in that movie called "Like Crazy"

Hey, I know this is 2.5 years old, but in case you still get a notification - did you eventually get your visa approved? Or did you just withdraw?

I know this is nearly 3 years old, but what eventually happened of your case @Hesham.? I'm in the same boat.. 56 days so far with no update, and I've already had to defer for one semester.

Hello,

I received admission for a Masters program in Engineering this Fall. I applied for my visa on the 25th of June, 2019.

The interview went smooth. The VO asked me questions about my brother who's on an H1B, and then about my program. At the end he kept my passport but handed me a yellow slip, asking for my CV + advisor's CV + research plans. I submitted them within 24 hours and received an automated acknowledgement email.

It's been ~45 days now. My classes start on the 26th of August. A couple of friends told me they were on an F-1 AP but their cases were resolved in 30 days. On similar Facebook groups I saw most F1 cases from India resolved quickly.

I did some research and this seems like a background/security check in Washington. Has anyone here gone through the same process? Can it take longer than 1.5 months for a student visa? Since classes are starting very soon I need to inform my school about a possible deferral.

Thanks.
