I'm having the same issue. This is the 6th week.
I've been sending tickets and they were responding with the same message that I should
wait but got a different message some days back. I decided to stop messaging them and wait.

"Thank you for contacting the U.S. Visa and American Citizens Support Service. We understand that your application is at "preapproval request" stage. We have noticed that you’ve submitted several tickets regarding this issue. To prevent multiple and duplicate escalations, we will now close this ticket. Rest assured that your concern has been escalated to our support desk for further assistance. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please visit www.usvisaappt.com for further details. Best Regards, U.S. Visa and American Citizens Support Service"

I just hope they would approve this week.

If one start date is 8th January and goes for interview on the 2nd or 3rd of January. Will the person face any issue from the VO? Since the start date and resumption is very close? What to do in this Case considering how this guys has kept most of us stuck at preapproval stage?

Good morning nairalanders,
I tried applying for my F1 visa via the new Avits portal but it's been on pre-approval stage. They finally sent a message that my payment has reflected in my account but still in the pre-approval stage and I can't book for an appointment. School starts on the 27th of January and I'm also travelling with my dependent. What do I do. I haven't even paid her visa fee yet cos mine hasn't left pre-approval stage for the past 5 weeks. How do I contact the consulate. Thank you
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by MiracleOla4433: 10:35am On Dec 17, 2024
The new Avits portal doesn't allow group appointment.
I'm F2 and my husband is F1 and we have a Son that is F2 too. We wanted to book it one by one before but someone advised we should book it separately with different phones or laptop and that was what we did. This is the 6th week and they haven't approved any of us yet and if we do it one by one, there is no how we would have meet up. I advise you pay her visa fee and fill her Ds 160 form with different phone or laptop and when it's time to book appointment, you can book it together and go to the interview together.
This is just a suggestion.

I'm having a feeling the preapproval shite is done on purpose, same with when we could not upload our !-20 and the likes

Let's say you were approved where will you get the 33k deficit and by the way, it's very rare to get approved with that huge amount of deficit
Curry814:
Please, has anyone gotten approved for an F1 visa without school funding for a master’s degree program? I know getting school funding will be helpful but I only got $3000 scholarship, which leaves my deficit at $33k.

I resume in January 2025 and I am currently at the appointment pre approval stage in my visa application process. It’s late now to get admission for another school for spring semester and my department doesn’t offer graduate assistantships.

I just want to know what my chances are so I can prepare accordingly. Thank you.

This is not true, an old colleague of mine recently got approved with $52k deficit and he had no funding. It all depends on how well you can convince them that you can afford it. In his case, he has been employed as an automation engineer for 4yrs+ here in Sweden. His yearly income will be around $85k.

Has anyone encountered administrative processing before?

I was put on administrative processing.
His last question to me was how I got a date so fast after my previous rejection (I was rejected in October 16th).
When was your recent visa interview date?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Switchbuck41: 3:51am On Dec 19, 2024
Hi everyone,

Thanks for all you do. My brother has a Bachelor of Law from Babcock(3.99/5), has finished law school and currently working in a law firm roughly 2 years experience. He wants to do his LLM (intellectual law) in the US. We have applied to a bunch of schools. We have been reading through the threads and found it helpful. However we have some questions.
1. What other schools does anyone know of that has affordable tuition/offers scholarships to foreign students?
2. He got admission with 50% scholarship into Syracuse but it’s still expensive as we have to pay about 35kusd (scholarship deducted).
3. What are his chances of becoming a US lawyer afterwards? Has anyone gone through this process before
4. A friend suggested Mpower loan but I’m worried about the visa interview regarding the loan.


Thank you!

Hello guys. I had my F1 interview at the embassy in Lagos today. It wasn't successful as I was denied! The VO officer only asked me questions about who's going to for my studies. She didn't ask any questions about the school nor my course of study. All through my stay there, I personally didn't see any F1 visa that was approved today. Even people with funding from their schools were denied.
