Alright and it seems they have issued your spring 2018 i20 in advance

Fenix:


My brother, you will have to be patient o. Administrative processing is a fancy term for security checks. The fact that your bank statements were collected is interesting. Perhaps they want to verify the authenticity of the statement.

Either way, you will have to be patient. There is nothing you can do to expedite the process. I wish you all the best!

Nice

You guys are doing great Job here
Keep it up

Well...

I've shared it several times on this forum. But I'll give you an abridged version.

Went for my F-1 visa interview August 11 and I was extremely nervous. My heart was almost jumping out of my chest as I got nearer and nearer to the interview window.

I was nervous because 9 years ago I was under a work visa in the U.S. However I lost my job and overstayed in the U.S by about 6 months. I was very worried that this would be a real problem.

I get to the interview window and the lady takes my passport and I-20. She looks at my I-20 and asks me what I am here for. I tell her I am applying for a visa to study at my university. She asks me to explain how it will be financed and I explain to her that, as shown on the i-20, it is partly funded via scholarships. She looks confused and I ask her if she would like me to give her a breakdown of the financial aid which was provided by my school.

She gives me permission and I hand it over to her. She looks at it and types away for a while. She asks me who will fund the rest. I tell her my mom. She nods and types away.

She then asks me that she noticed I had an H1b visa but my passport doesn't have the stamp. I explain that I never bothered leaving the country to have the visa stamped. She still looks confused and I ask her if she would like to see my other passports. She says she would and I hand them to her. She looks through, types for a while again.

She then hands over my i-20 and old passports and tells me that she is going to hold on to my current passport while she verifies a few things. She hands me the white sheet and tells me I am in administrative processing. I am confused and ask how long. She says a week or less. I as her if there is any additional thing she would like me to explain. She says no and says that I will be contacted.

I leave the embassy with mixed feelings.

For the next 3 days I keep checking my status and it just says AP. I check again yesterday and it says "Issued".

I quickly Google what that means and on the webpage of the U.S embassy, it says it means the visa has been approved. I am ecstatic.

Today I get an email that the passport has been mailed and is ready to be picked up. I am further ecstatic.

The End.

Congratulations Bro

Me self go give mine this spring by the grace of God

Hi!

What course are you aiming for?

The US is different from the UK in that your low undergrad grade can be overcome with a fantastic GRE score, great letters of recommendation and a great statement of purpose.

I would say take the GRE. Based on your score, you can then filter and apply to schools that fit your profile.

Sir, why not have your friend open up a visa application account and check the available dates?

Hello. My program start date is on the 6th of September and the next available interview date is on the 28th of August. I intend to apply for a visa expedition. In the event that it is not approved, will there be enough time for me to go for an interview and get the visa before the start date?

Thanks so much for the friendly advice, I studied Telecoms and info Tech in my first degree, defiantly I'll be applying for a course in that area, in terms of getting a recommendation later, must it come from my school or any personality? After getting a favorable GRE score, how do I get a school to apply to with my low grade? Does GRE boast grade I'm confused, please explain to me more.... Thanks for ur time

Don't be so fixated on your grade for now. Focus on the GRE. I would also Google school rankings for media and telecoms or whatever field you want to go into. Look at their requirements.
