nope

still waiting

still waiting

I will say, please go to Mexico, otherwise you need to wait 200 days more

have you gone to mexico for the interview? @md mintu miah

we will go On December 19

waiting almost 415 days, tried to expedite two times, denied. lost hope

so you are also changing to F1? are you in h4 currently and have you aged out at 21 already? sorry for the questions I am just considering doing the same

no, it is from F2 to F1, Texas center. age 27

have you already scheduled an appointment?

yes, on December 20 and 21

did you consult a lawyer for this? I read online it is more risky to do it in Mexico than in India

can you share the link you read? no we did not consult with lawyers but some of friend got visa successfully from Mexico and they mentioned that it is more quick than home country. Do you mean any conflict between USCIS i539 application and F1 visa viva? please response in detail little bit about the risk.

yeah so I’m pretty sure it was just a comment on like a Facebook post but I don’t know much about it. I also know of someone who did an emergency F1 visa appointment in Mexico cause they were aging out of their h4 visa. And yes I am wondering if the I-539 will have an effect on the interview

the f1 and I 538 is handle by two separate departments. simply you can withdraw your I 539 before traveling. then there is no issue. we lost funding two times due to USCIS delays, when we applied processing time was 6-9.5,now it is 13-17. we are mentally depressed

they are increasing time in every months

I totally understand I am in the same position as you. my case is pending for about 354 days now so I too am thinking about going to an interview

we also took emergency schedule on December, there is no normal schedule this year. you can expedite the schedule very easily. they did for me within 7 hrs

just write then and explain the situation. they are much more better than this USCIS

we wasted all the time with this USCIS and now regretting

was a sooner appointment not available

we got initially appointments on June,2022, then expedite the viva date, it was expedite within 7 hrs. what ever date I wanted councilor provided me that date of interview

what was the reason you said to get them to expedite

funding loss and school start date

hey guys lets talk about Mexico

is it your home country or how do you do it?

no, Mexico is not my home ground but you can always give visa viva in 3 rd county , it is not a problem

@mintu Miah..Are the interview and biometric slots available for Mexico consular processing..?do you have any idea..?

first you need to schedule what ever date they have , then request them your any preferences expedite date with written explanation through the viva schedule portal. within 12 hrs they will reschedule your date as you want. we did it

thank you very much for the information

if you need further info, you may call me on 808-387-4052

sure..thanks a lot for that...:)

@Mintu Miah..did you get Mexico tourist visa..?

I do not need any Mexico visa if you have valid USA visa

thanks a lot@Mintu..I have valid F2 visa..I am hoping that it would be sufficient..

yes

thank you :)

any update regarding approval. I've applied March and did Fingerprint July 1st and still waiting for approval. Nebraska service center! please let me know if you got anything from USCIS. I've applied for F1 and I hold F2

@md Mintu. how did you get appointment? I have contacted them and they said they do not offer for third country. Third Country Nationals: Routine appointments for applicants not ordinarily resident in Mexico are not available at this time. Any applicant currently residing in the United States who seeks to extend their legal stay should contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services here .

@ Salam, I do not exactly why you contracted with them. their online system is allowing to get the visa schedule for 3 rd county. we got the emergency appointment . we also not from Mexico. lot of people are taking the interview schedule. let me share with a group, they can help you for all info

join here and ask your questions

any updates? did you expedite?

our case approved on December 13, 2021. we send letter directly to USCIS to withdraw the application by December 10 or approve! they approved instead of withdraw the application

patience pays off! they are resolving cases one by one these days

congratulations @Md! when did you send the letter? was there anything special about December 10? was it your one year mark?

we send the letter on December 1st, 2021. there was nothing special. we were waiting for long time and lost the funding two times. Then we got the visa interview in Mexico on December 19. This was the reason to send the letter to USCIS either approve or withdraw! Thanks
