| Additional Info / Notes | I came to renew my F1 visa for my PhD program in Human genetics at University of Chicago. I was eligible for the dropbox submission that did not require me to interview. I submitted my applications through that program initially, on april 17th. My passport was returned on april 22nd, with no visa inside, but a white letter asking me to appear for an interview at the consulate. I appeared for one the following day, on apriil 23rd in Mumbai. After my interview, I was handed a green letter demanding several documents from me that I submitted the following day on april 24th. Still no news of my processing. There is enormous work pending in my lab, and I am unsure if/when I can return. |
