Thank you for contacting the Student/Exchange Visitor Visa Center.
A check of the consular records at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, China
indicates that your F-1 student visa application is currently undergoing
administrative processing in order to verify your qualifications.
Administrative processing usually lasts about 60 days or less, but can
take longer in some instances. We realize that any period of wait can
be frustrating, and we are sensitive to the fact that the purpose of the
nonimmigrant visa program is to facilitate legitimate travel to the U.S.
Nonetheless, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, like all U.S. Embassies and
Consulates, must adjudicate visas in accordance with the provisions of
the law, and, in some cases, this will involve extensive administrative
processing.
While we cannot predict when the processing of your case will be
completed, please be assured that the Embassy and the Department of
State are aware of your concerns and will do all we can to see that it
is adjudicated as soon as possible once your qualifications have been
fully verified. When complete, or if additional information from you is
needed, you will be notified by the consular staff in Beijing.
We hope this information is helpful.
