Hi,
I am currently a 3rd year Ph.d student in Univ. of Connecticut in Materials science. I came to mumbai for F1 visa stamping as mine is change of status from H4 to F1. I was handed a yellow form and was asked to send thru email the following documents at the earliest like DS157,CV, Invite letter from US and Technical Questionaire i got from the US consulate at mumbai website. I am a fully funded student, halfway thru ph.d . I do not understand the reason for not stamping visa right away. I was handed a yellow form under 221g section. I have already submitted my documents in 2 days of time. MY question is how long does it take to process my visa. and how much is the approval rate.
i m really concerned as i m funded during the summer. My return ticket is on 2nd july. THe processing time in their receipt email is given up to 12 weeks.
Please post some response for the minimum duration and approval rates.
