Dear VO,

My question does not pertain to an immigrant visa, but I felt I should ask anyway. I applied for, and was granted an F-1 visa on Tuesday, the 8th of September. I was told at the interview that my visa would be ready by today, the 11th. However, until now, at 2:15 pm, I have not gotten an email stating my visa was ready for pickup. I called the visa center, and they said they had no specific timeline, but I should watch my email. In my desperation, I called the embassy themselves and they stated that they shut down early for the day as it is 9/11. Madam, I am desperate because my classes have begun already, and I am already late. I was given a grace period with which to sort these issues out, but even that time is running thin. If there is anything that can be done, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
