F2 visa rejected
I recently applied for an F2 dependent visa to visit my wife who is currently studying in the US. The VO asked me a few questions.
Me: Good afternoon Sir
VO: No response
VO: pass me your documents
Me: Provided passport and both I-20s
VO: What's your wife doing in the US
Me: Explained with details
VO: How is she funding her studies
Me: She got a student loan and our savings. Recently she also got a graduate assistantship job.
VO: What kind of job is that
Me: Explained in detail
VO: What do you do?
Me: I'm a senior software engineer working for company x (explained some of the job responsibilities)
VO: How will manage your job
Me: I'll be on unpaid leave for 3 months that has already been approved and I can provide an approval letter.
VO: Does a lot of typing
VO: unfortunately I cannot give you a visa and hand over a pink slip
I honestly felt bad since my wife has been stressed out and she genuinely needs my support. I regretted why we chose the USA for her studies.
My intentions were very genuine because I have a good-paying job here in my country yet I was denied.
Any advice please, this is crushing me.
Should I reapply and hope to find a different VO or should I pursue the route of F1 as well?

Need advise on F1 immigration
I have H4 visa. And I recently got my F1 Visa stamped, and at the port of entry, I was denied entry on F1 Visa, and the officer asked me to enter on H4 visa. So now my I-94 shows the entry on H4 visa. Because of this, I won't be able to apply for CPT/OPT. Are there any legal options through which I can get entry on F1 Visa?
Please suggest to me, if can I apply for a change of Status or travel to Canada/Mexico and come back on F1 or travel to India and come back on F1? Which one will be a good and easy option to change my I-94 entry to F1.

F1 visa revoked due to DUI which is dismissed
I came to the USA on Aug 2022 and had a DUI arrest in Nov which got dismissed in Dec leaving me with an Exhibition of Speed VC 23109(c)
Now I have two more semesters to complete. As per my findings, I cannot get OPT on a revoked F1 visa.
a) What are my options? can I get reinstatement, or go back and get a new F1 visa?
I put all my savings on education hoping to get an OPT and regain them, not everything is at stake.
I understand DUI is a bad thing and am so low, I'm losing my mind on this.
I can stay here and complete my education but that would mean ill drain all my money and be left with a job.
If I go back to India, I need to get a new F1 which means I need to make study for 1 year after the visa issue if I get one.
One wrong decision made everything worse for me. Please let me know if I can have any options.
Any help is deeply appreciated.

F2-Visa rejected 2 times need help
Hello friends!!
I am f2 dependent my husband is pursuing masters in US.
Applied visa on f2 when he is in his 3 semester, everything went well when she consulate (women) asked me about sponsor I said its my father, who works for PSU. She replied your husband is supposed to be Ur sponsor sorry I cant approve .
Again I applied after a month changing sponsor, it was direct being a student how he is going to sponsor you, replied we have savings of sum xxx, my father and in-law both work for PSU. So we can deal our expenses. Consulate was listening and writing something in his computer, handed 214b slip and said sorry.
Now my husband is graduating on may 2023, so planning to apply for visa again abit confused about the sponsor again as he is not in his opt yet. Will cherish if anyone would help me out of these.
Thanks in advance

F1 Approved then administrative processing
Hi all,
I'm a continuing PhD student. I did my interview on Nov 17th and had the visa approved. I waited for 10 days before having to take my passport for urgent travel. The embassy then emailed me to return the passport via mail. Passport was delivered to them on Dec 22nd. There were no further communication from the embassy until Jan 18th. On that day, they emailed me to bring my passport as soon as possible because my school deadline is Jan 25th. This was disturbing because they are supposed to have the passport with them for the past month. I went to the embassy and they said the passport wasn't delivered and I should check with the mailing company. I went to the mailing company and they said the passport has beeb delivered on Dec 22nd. They also gave me documents showing the embassy has received it (embassy staff signature was there). On my way back to the embassy, they called insisting that the passport wasn't delivered. I told them I have documents from the mailing company showing your signature upon receiving the package. They said we will check and call you again. After 30 mins, they called and said we found your passport, and you should bring a new I-20. I told them I'm a continuing student and don't need to submit a new I-20. They said okay, we will call you back and you don't need a new I-20. They never called, and the only update I got from them was an email saying: we received your passport and it is continuing under administrative processing.
Because of this mishandling, I had to withdraw from the spring semester and take a leave of absence to avoid being discontinued from the program.
I hope administrative processing doesn't take forever 😔 since I need to be back and continue working on my research as soon as possible ( which is now April 15th).
This is in US embassy in Riyadh.
