I applied to extend my F1 on 7th of this month. I am doing my PhD and after hearing that I am working on wireless optical communication I was told that they need to verify something from DC and I will get my passport in 4-6 days.
I called after a week and was told that it will take 1 month to get a reply from DC and a decision about my visa will be taken that time.

Has anyone faces such situation before. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process?

thanks in advance for your advice/suggestions
