Administrative Processing after f2 visa approval by VO
Hello,

My wife had a visa interview on 22 April 2019. VO said an application is approved and you will receive a passport in 2 days. She gave her letter which says your passport will deliver to address you choose. It is not 221G.
But now https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx shows status as “Administrative Processing”. I don’t know what should I do. Does anyone have the same situation before for F2?

F1 interview - Rejected
Interview date: 04/22/2019 - Delhi

VO: can I have your I20?
Me: Here you go
Why this university?
I liked the course structure of this university.
Who is sponsoring you?
My husband.
What he does?
He is technical lead in a software company.
Is he here in India or US ?
He is in US on H1B.
Sorry your visa can't be approved, you can study on H4.
Can you please tell me the reason. I can study on H4 but in case my husband is coming back early, I will go out of status.
Sorry, I can't approve your visa.

Could you please tell me where I went wrong ? VO looked very chill, still can't figure out where I went wrong. Any suggestions?

F2 visa experience..
Date : 17 January 2019

Place : Delhi

Time : 9:00

My husband is on F1 status and his cpt was expired on 23’rd December 2018. He already applied for opt. His graduation will be complete on May 2019. We got married on 15 November 2019. I have worked as an Assistant Professor in the university. I was pretty much confident but still had little nervous.

VO was a charming lady and responded well.

Me: Hello, Good Morning mam!! ( with a smile)

VO : ( smile) Good morning! Can I have your passport please?

Me: Yes, sure here it is
( She was looking at the monitor screen and continuously typing)

VO :Can I have yours and your husband’s I20?

Me: Handed the I20

VO: When did you guys first meet ?

Me : On a matrimonial site.It’s a kind of love to arrange marriage.

VO: What’s your marriage date ?

Me: 15 November 2018

VO: How many guest arrived to your marriage?

Me: Around 800

VO: Can I see your marriage certificate and some pictures?

Me: Gave her all the proofs
( She smiles and said you both looking so nice together) I was feeling confident.

VO: What do you do in India ?

Me: I work as an Assistant professor in xxx university.
After few seconds...she smiled at me ..

VO: Congratulations, I’m approving your visa and you have a great married life.

Me: ( so much happy to hear that) Thank you so much mam..and you have a nice day.

This is all about my experience. I had prepared a lot for interview every type of expected and unexpected questions but the interview went so smooth. She didn’t ask anything about my husband.

So the only key to get the visa is Confidence and have faith in your self that you can do it. Always say the truth develop your body language. Prepare for interview in front of the mirror or wth someone.

Good luck ...😊

H4 to F1 conversion
Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading through a very long email. :)

I got admitted into UCF for MS in Computer Science for Fall 2019 term. I'm currently on H4 visa. However, I plan to go to India in December 2019 i.e., after one semester to get my F1 student visa interview.

I have following questions in such regard.

1) Can I show the liquid amount equivalent to the i20 amount in my husband's account which is a checking account of a bank or should the amount be only in a savings account?
2) The bank account statement of how many months prior should be submitted to receive i20?
3) this is about F1 visa interview, can I show the exact funds in my husband's checking account which I have provided for I20 as financial support for funding my graduate studies? If yes in that case how many monthly statements of the account transactions i should provide ?

Thanks and Regards,
Aparna Siripurapu

F2 visa experience - approved
Here I'm sharing my F2 visa experience:

Date - 12/03/19
Consulate - Mumbai

VO: Morning !!
Me: Good morning !!
VO: Please hand me your passport and both(F1 & F2) I-20.
Me: Handed her both passports(previous one and recent one with the changed name after marriage) and I-20 of mine and my husband's.
Goes through it for some seconds.
VO: You got married in 2018?
Me: Yes !!
VO: So how did you both meet?
Me: Told her how we met and for how long we have known each other.
VO: Can I see your Marriage Certificate?
Me: Yes sure !! (Handed her marriage certificate)
VO: What is he studying?
Me: He has already completed his studies. Told her what and from where did my husband studied.
VO: Is your husband working? ( This is very tricky question, here sometimes saying yes to 'working' can be a reason for rejection)
Me: Currently he is on OPT.
VO: For?
Me: Told the company. Also told her my husband's role and position.
VO: Oh okay (and she looked highly satisfied and impressed with my answer)
VO: Can you pass me your husband's passport?
Me: Yes, here it is. (Handed over passport copy)
VO was continuously looking at her computer. After that she gave me all the documents I handed to her except passport.
After few seconds,
VO: Okay your visa has been approved. I am keeping your passport with me. And you will get it within 3-4 business days.
Me: Thank you very much :D

I was very very worried before going to the interview, but I was told to be only and only confident. Go through all the documents, that are with you. Know everything in-depth about you, your husband's education and occupation. Don't lie anything in the interview. Try and don't talk to anyone when in a queue before the interview, they notice everything. Wear a good smile and confidence on your face. And you are good to go and crack the interview. :)
