I'm sure it will. The fact that the passport was held back is apparently a good sign from all that I have read. It is just a matter of time. How much time is the issue. Do you have a deadline you have to meet?

School resumes 9th of august. Want to travel next month

Banks normally stamp to show you have been given PTA. Its per quarter, so you wont collect twice in a quarter. The stamp is the evidence

The focus has been on your school.
Check byu in gradcafe dot com and see what your department peeps are saying about it. Then you should know why you didnt pick the other schools.

Is there any student living in Buffalo, NY or anyone who knows someone living in Buffalo, NY.

SUNY area, Elmwood village or Allentown precisely.

I need to secure an apartment and won't mind sharing for the first 4 months.

For those seeking information about one school or the other, here is what I have to beg you to do... Google!

Many people want to be spoon fed everything but you really are not doing yourself a favor if you don't do your search. When you've done a thorough search and review of the schools you want to attend, questions asked by the visa officers such as "Why did you pick this school" or "What makes this school special" or "How did you find out about this school" will not be challenging in anyway. After doing a thorough search, you'll be able to comfortably talk about why you want to study your chosen course and why you chose the school you chose.

Of course people here can help, but you must do the bulk of the work for yourself or you'll go to the embassy ill prepared and bomb the interview.

God bless!

Well...

I've shared it several times on this forum. But I'll give you an abridged version.

Went for my F-1 visa interview August 11 and I was extremely nervous. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest as I got nearer and nearer to the interview window.

I was nervous because 9 years ago I was under a work visa in the U.S. However I lost my job and overstayed in the U.S by about 6 months. I was very worried that this would be a real problem.

I get to the interview window and the lady takes my passport and I-20. She looks at my I-20 and asks me what I am here for. I tell her I am applying for a visa to study at my university. She asks me to explain how it will be financed and I explain to her that, as shown on the i-20, it is partly funded via scholarships. She looks confused and I ask her if she would like me to give her a breakdown of the financial aid which was provided by my school.

She gives me permission and I hand it over to her. She looks at it and types away for a while. She asks me who will fund the rest. I tell her my mom. She nods and types away.

She then asks me that she noticed I had an H1b visa but my passport doesn't have the stamp. I explain that I never bothered leaving the country to have the visa stamped. She still looks confused and I ask her if she would like to see my other passports. She says she would and I hand them to her. She looks through, types for a while again.

She then hands over my i-20 and old passports and tells me that she is going to hold on to my current passport while she verifies a few things. She hands me the white sheet and tells me I am in administrative processing. I am confused and ask how long. She says a week or less. I as her if there is any additional thing she would like me to explain. She says no and says that I will be contacted.

I leave the embassy with mixed feelings.

For the next 3 days I keep checking my status and it just says AP. I check again yesterday and it says "Issued".

I quickly Google what that means and on the webpage of the U.S embassy, it says it means the visa has been approved. I am ecstatic.

Today I get an email that the passport has been mailed and is ready to be picked up. I am further ecstatic.

The End.

Yellow fever does not apply to US. They dont ask or need it. I think it used for some destination in africa
