Form DS-5535 'SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS FOR VISA APPLICANTS'

[mimo11 2]

Wow, there is a big club here. I applied on 10th of July and my status hasn't been updated since 12th of July. Last update from the consulate, that AP cannot be expedited. Does this AP happen in the consulate/ embassy or in the USA? They are keeping my passport since then.

Hello,

My interview was last Monday August 7. I applied for F1 student visa. Everything was okay, however at the end of the interview she said" we have new process we need you to fill out the form we will email you" and she gave me the 221g. they sent the supplement questions form (ds 5535) and social media. And I filled it out and sent it immediately. And they replied with "thank you" But I saw that the last update was on August 9. Can someone tell me how long would it take? My school will start on August 19. Thanks.
