Hello everyone!
I came to US to pursue my MS in Fall 2012 and now am doing my PhD in same university. My F1 Visa expired on 3rd June 2017. I plan to go to India in December around Christmas and was going to reapply for F1 but when I was reading the interview waiver eligibility here: https://www.immihelp.com/visa-interv...visa-in-india/
It says "if you are applying for B1/B2. C1/D , F or J visa, your prior visa in same classification is still valid OR expired within last 48 months."
a) Does that mean I need not go to Mumbai for interview and I may qualify for Dropbox at Pune?(I'm from Pune)
b) How many days does it take for dropbox process? (so I can book my tickets accordingly.)
c) Would the consulate be open in Dec end or closed for winter break? I couldn't find any link for the dates.
Thanks!
