Hi, I recently was put under administrative processing after my interview on the 24th of june for F1 visa at the consulate in Lagos, still yet to get an update…it’s been more than a month, anyone in a similar position as well ?

Had my own interview since June 18. No update till now

Please I need your suggestion.

I attended my F-1 interview in Lagos on June 23, 2035. I was placed on administrative processing for social media vetting. It's one month now, and my status has remained on "Application Received." My program starts in middle of August.

I sent an email to the Consulate, and got a response two weeks later that my case is still under administrative processing. I confused since it still shows "Application Received" instead of the traditional "Refused" or "Administrative Processing."

This is mentally stressful.

I also had my F-1 visa interview at the U.S. Consulate in Lagos on June 18, 2025, and I was informed that my application was placed under administrative processing (social media vetting).

As of now, the CEAC status still shows “refused,” and I have not received any further updates. My academic program is scheduled to begin in August as well.

Date: 18th June 2025
Program: Master in Psychology
School: University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Status: AP
Lagos

Hello Ife. I wasn’t able to upload at all. Something around an error. Each time I click on the upload option, it will redirect me to time out or error, and I won’t be able to proceed

Mine was edited by the studio, that's why it's saying error. You have to tell the studio not to edit it. And make it 2x2 size. I was able to upload mine after fixing all this.

Ashleydolls:
Hello everyone.

I’m having issues uploading my picture on the portal to proceed with my DS 160 submission. Any idea on what I can do?

Also, can I submit without uploading my picture?

I encountered the same issue. But I was able to upload it after changing the picture size to 600×600, 2*2 inches

Thanks for sharing
