Notes:
Hello,
I had my interview for F1 visa on the 18th of July, 2019. The interview went well and the VO informed that I would receive my visa in 2-3 days. The next day I received an email saying that my visa was refused under section 221(g) and was asked to fill the DS-5535 form to continue processing my case. The ceac webste shows that my case was created one day before (17th of July 2019) my visa interview and the status is administrative processing and has not been updated after the 18th of July
My college starts in the first week of September which gives me one month. I am really worried. Have you heard of F1 visa applicants being asked to fill the DS-5535 form? If, yes - on average how much time does it take for the visa to get approved?
After 11 business days, received an email to submit passport on 6th August 2019.
7th Aug - Submitted passport
9th Aug - CEAC Last Updated date changed for the first time to 9th Aug 2019
13th Aug - Status changed to Issued
