Hi all,

This is wrt my F1 visa for my MBA degree Program. I had been to Delhi embassy on Dec 11 2003 for my F1 VISA. Initially the consular officer told me I had got my visa and asked me to pay my fees. However when I was paying fees, he again called me and returned my Passport and other documents and said that my case needs further administrative provessing under 221(g).My school starts from Jan 12 2004 and I have still not got any reply. How long will this take. If the delay happens then I might even have to lose my semester.

Also, Is it that me being a Muslim male the reason for more scrutiny?Please advice as to what I can expect.

Early response is appreciated.

Thanks:confused:
 
If you haven't received your reply by now, I think you should talk to your foreign student advisor asking him to defer your admission for next semester and issue a new I-20. I think sporadically Muslim males are scrutinized more intensively than others are whether people agree that or not. Good luck
