I haven't emailed them yet, but will keep you updated when I do. I don't think it'll do much anyway.

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.

I doubt you'll get the visa on time. You should have done the visa way back. I did my F1 like in April when I had to start in August. 

 

I think you should call the office of international students and ask them if you can defer for a semester. I think it is unlikely you will get it on time. Do you have a place to live, etc.? Were you going to move like 2 days before classes started?

 

None of the people who got this form and have posted on VJ has received a visas yet. They are all waiting.

Hello, 

 

Congrats, Did you get a pink slip with a passport when they returned?  

 

Because this what happens on my interview day, 

On August 6th, 2017 I had my visa interview in Jeddah. The interview was really simple he asked me a name, school, and major, then told me that my visa been approved and I will receive it in 3 to 4 days. 


on August 8th, 2017 I received an email from Jeddah visa needed more information and asked me to fill up a D-5535. I filled it up and sent it to them. 


On August 9th, 2017 at 1:39 am, I received an email with tracking number. I went to Aramex but I did not get the visa with it, I received with a pink slip. 

 

 

Same? because I'm a student and my school starts on 28th of August. 

[Gaeth 2]

No, they gave me 221g white slip with the passport and sent the ds 5535 on email.
Good luck!

 but did they return your passport to you after the interview?

what does the white slip say?

[Gaeth 2]

Yes they returned the passport after the interview with the 221g white slip. 

That's why they called me to submit it again. 

Good luck.
