F1 Visa Applicants Report 221(g) Processing Delays

If you want to study in the US, you need an F1 visa.

Sometimes, the US government needs more information before they give you the visa.

This is called a 221(g) notice.

An applicant shared that even when they followed instructions by making their social media public, they still got a 221(g).

Now, they are waiting to see if they'll get the visa.

Others have shared their experiences with this process, too, often resulting in delays in receiving their visas.

The government is taking extra time to check things before deciding.
